#fatalities

Despite all the new advanced safety features in today’s vehicles, pedestrian deaths are increasing at the fastest rate ever recorded.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has released a study that shows younger women are far more likely to die than men in an equivalent car crash.

For the first time in seven years, the number of fatalities on U.S. roadways increased 5.3 percent last year to 34,080 deaths, according to preliminary data by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).

Despite all the new technologies going into vehicles to help make them safer, speeding-related fatalities have not declined in almost 30 years according to a report by the Governor’s Highway Safety Association (GHSA).
