Fresno has some of the most unsafe speeds in the country according to a new study by Auto Insurance Center.

According to the study, 11 of the 20 cities with the highest average speeds in fatal accidents are located in California. Fresno is number 13 on the list.

The fastest cities in America are located across the country, from California to Virginia and a few places in between.

Auto Insurance Center looked at the average speed of over 12,000 fatal car crashes across the country and determined where drivers put the pedal to the metal and where they proceed more cautiously.

South Carolina and California are each home to three of the fastest roads involved in fatal accidents, and South Carolina's stretch of I-95 has an average fatal crash speed of nearly 75 mph, despite the 70 mph speed limit.
