That's actually pretty interesting. There seems to be an overabundance of speed related crashes, but I'm sure they're just reporting what the police told them.Individual reports on the nation's 3,100 counties — including maps plotting the most recent fatalities color-coded by risk factor — can be seen at www.scrippsnews.com/killerroads.
