What the what?! So many of us are working from home, staying off the road. So, why did deadly crashes DOUBLE in April? According to MassDOT “With 50% less traffic recorded on major highways, 28 individuals died in crashes, compared with a total number of 27 individuals dying as the result of motor vehicle crashes in April 2019.”
The rate of fatalities in April has doubled.
