the three states-texas, florida, california-- with the hightest number of fatalities are also the three states with the highest number of illegals.

[Timber Rattler]

Interstate 81 from New York to Tennessee is a big killer too.

[ckilmer]

too bad no one can go count the number of illegal involved fatalities there are.

I would be that considering 32,719 people were killed in 2013— illegals were involved in fully 1/4 of those deaths —since that percentage also tracks the number of illegals in federal state and local prisons.

Scary

[Zuben Elgenubi]

Your first map of Atlanta: Every time I have driven on the outer ring, I’m startled by the excess speed of all drivers. Eighty, ninety miles per hour. It’s huge.

[Chauncey Gardiner]

Many of these listed are not “interstates”

[cicero2k]

The 710 AKA Long Beach Freeway, is outright scary.

It is a truck freight train. Cars are interlopers.

The LB / LA port is the largest on the west coast.

Your retail / on-line shopping supply chain passes through the 710 freeway.

[ro_dreaming]

And all three are “warm weather” states.

Settled science says warm weather causes folks to have more accidents.

You need to move to Montana to save your life!

[Buckeye McFrog]

Have to agree on Tennessee.
Have been to Nashville several times.
There are 14 car pile-ups everywhere you go in that town.

Columbus, Ohio should be on the list too. The eight-lane cuts you see on I-270 in morning rush are like something out of a bad video game.

they’re also the three most populous states along with three of the top four largest states.

more people ... more cars ... more miles of highway ... more accidents.

not exactly a shocker.

change the stats to per capita system and weight the roads by percentage of total highways, then you’d start to see the real information. until then, largest states will always be on top.

[Balding_Eagle]

We need more light rail.

Only $100 million per mile.

[Pelham]

The 710 in California is loaded with big rigs serving the Port of Long Beach. A really unpleasant freeway and I’m not surprised it’s one of the deadliest.

Rank your area`s 10 deadliest roads:

Martinez, CA NE thru Brentwood is “Blood Alley”; cars run into the enbankments and tip over for no apparent reason, apparently haunted. This did not happen until in the 70-80`s when they straightened the road out, probably digging over an Indian burial ground in the process.

East of San Francisco is Niles Canyon Rd. which is haunted. Strange accidents occur there as a woman in white will suddenly appear in your back seat. One of my salesman died there inexplicably when his car crashed head-on into a tree.
He always talked about seeing a woman in a white flowing transparent gown walking at night along the road, then disappearing; many crashes there.

Here in NY we have ‘Deadman`s Curve’ which after 75 years of many deaths was finally closed off.

Also there is another curve by the lake 9N where cars fly off into the lake fast while cruising at low speeds.

Another one is coming down the mountain where trucks always lose their brakes. They also straightened this road out in 1990`s, digging thru an old Indian path next to an ancient black lead warpaint site.

The 10 deadliest interstates in America, mapped

Are these the interstates that are closest to gun stores?

[driftless2]

I don’t know how I-80-90-94 around the bottom of Chicago doesn’t get mentioned. It seems every car in the upper half of the U.S. goes around it all at once. Talk about a semi nightmare, and I don’t mean by halves.

[GOPJ]

In Florida the most important insurance add-on is 'uninsured motorist' insurance. It's cheap...

If you're hit by an illegal without insurance or anyone without insurance - and you can't work - it allows you to sue for 'pain and suffering... allows a person to get money until they can work. Without that you're out of luck...

I wouldn't even vacation in Florida without it.

[notdownwidems]

I-10 from Mobile to New Orleans is full of crazies!

[Mr. Jeeves]

Most of the L.A. freeways are super-dangerous, not just the 710. Lanes are way too narrow, there are huge concrete sound walls right at the edge of the left and right lanes with no shoulders, exit and freeway split/merge signs appear too late, leading to panicky unsafe lane changes, and even when they aren't crowded people like to drive 85 mph about five feet from your rear bumper. Not even mentioning all the illegal alien beater cars that look like they are about to fall apart into jagged shards of metal right in front of you.

Driving in L.A feels like a really unpleasant video game.

[Angels27]

“the three states-texas, florida, california— with the hightest number of fatalities are also the three states with the highest number of illegals.”

Living in CA I know I-710 (the 3rd dealiest in the nation) runs through all the shithole LA suburbs where a high concentration of illegals live: East LA, Commerce, Bell, Bell Gardens, Maywood, South Gate, Lynwood, Compton and some of the worst areas of Long Beach

[Resolute Conservative]

I-35 in central Texas is usually so clogged that you cannot go fast enough to have an accident.

[Gay State Conservative]

I-75 from Tampa to Florida's East Coast used to be called “Alligator Alley” because it passes right through the Everglades.The first time I drove it was back in the 80’s when portions of it were undivided...one lane each way.I was warned how dangerous it was and I admit that I soiled my underwear once or twice during that drive.Back then it *had* to be one of the deadliest stretches of highway in the nation.
