Avoid the Area @csuf

About 100,000 crashes a year are linked to drowsy driving, per the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Tired drivers are three times more likely to crash. Rest up before hitting the road and drink plenty of water to keep you awake.

With our busy schedules and back-to-back classes, it’s easy to rush. However, take a few seconds to look both ways, pause at crosswalks, and put your phone away to prevent serious accidents. Make sure to drive slowly, avoid distractions, and be ready to stop if someone crosses into your path of travel.‌

When going through our parking structures, ensure to take a few extra steps to avoid an accident. ‌‌Drive at safe speeds, utilize your blinkers, and look both ways when turning corners, entering, and exiting. Our station is open 24/7. If you are involved in an accident, call 911 or our dispatch center at (657) 278-2515.‌

Texting and driving is one of the worst types of distracted driving. Looking down at your phone and sending a text takes your eyes off the road for five seconds; if you're traveling at 55 mph, that's equivalent to driving the length of a football field with your eyes closed. Always pay attention and put your phone away until you arrive at your destination.

Happy Valentine's Day -- Don't worry, these chocolates aren't for Liza. With so many people on the road today rushing to their favorite restaurants, it is important to remember to drive safely and never drive under the influence. Statistically, DUIs increase on Valentine's Day, just like menu prices. Designate a driver or use a rideshare service. Stay Safe!

Around 12:30 a.m. near Folino Dr. & East Campus Dr., a vehicle struck a tree and caught fire. CSS Valdez, a non-sworn member of our department and a vital part of our holistic tiered safety response, arrived on scene and pulled the driver away from the burning vehicle as officers arrived. Officer Marantz assisted until @fullertonfired1 extinguished the flames. The driver was transported to a local area hospital with injuries. We’re grateful for the teamwork between sworn, non-sworn, and local first responders. #CSUFPolice #CampusSafety #Teamwork Descriptive Transcript A grainy video portraying three vehicles pulling up to a stop sign simultaneously. All you see is their brake lights in the darkness. Two of the vehicles make a right turn, followed by a flash of light. The flash of light is one vehicle crashing into a tree and catching the tree and vehicle on fire.
