U.S. Traffic Fatalities Increased in 2020


Deadly car accidents increased in 2020. This may come as a surprise, given that so many people were at home during the worst of the pandemic, and not out commuting or driving around. Nonetheless, statistics from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration show deadly crashes rose about 7 percent compared to the previous year.
