Roadway deaths leveled off last year after spiking during the pandemic, according to federal estimates
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration estimated 42,795 people were killed on US roads in 2022. It’s a dip of fewer than 150 deaths from highs reached in 2021, when the agency recorded the largest quarterly spike in its history of tracking roadway fatalities. Deaths last year declined in 27 states and increased in 23 states, the administration said. Americans also drove marginally more miles in 2022 than the previous year, according to the estimates.
” The number of roadway deaths had previously been increasing since the second half of 2020, according to the administration. Deaths began climbing during the coronavirus pandemic as travel patterns changed. While driving initially declined, police nationwide reported a surge in reckless driving, including speeding along roads that in normal times were congested.
