Missouri Injury Lawyer Blog: Missouri Personal Injury and Wrongful Death Statistics Down; Highway Cable Guards Credited
The Missouri Department of Transportation is "tooting their own horn" so to speak. The good news? Missouri wrongful deaths from cars and trucks that cross the median are down. In 2006, MODOT reported 55 deaths in crossover accidents. In 2007, the year after approximately 500 miles of cross guards were installed, the number of deaths was only 2.
Officials tabulated this data from the Missouri Highway Patrol, which keeps detailed information regarding all personal injuries and deaths from accidents on Missouri highways.
