Drivers may want to be extra careful around two city intersections: Harbor Boulevard at Edinger Avenue and Talbert Avenue at Bushard Street.

In all, there were 783 traffic collisions in Fountain Valley -- three fatal. Of the remaining 780, there were 346 collisions causing injury, 431 non-injury and three resulting in “unknown injuries” according to the report.
