Roads Safer In 2008, so far 10% Fewer Car Accident Deaths than in Previous Years
According to federal transportation officials 2008 is on pace to be the safest year for car accident related deaths so far on record. Car accident related deaths are down 10% in 2008 from last year. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration estimates there’s been 31,110 traffic related deaths this year on U.S. roadways, compared with 34,502 during the same time last year. It’s an improvement, but still a big and scary number.
The good news is that driving on U.S. roadways has never been more safe. Let’s hope the trend continues and we see continued reduction in car accident related fatalities in the future.
