According to the latest statisitcs released by the U.S. Census Bureau, there were 1,256 traffic-related deaths in Pennsylvania in 2009 (the last year figures are available for) and a few of those actually happened in our area.
ITO World, a transportation information company based in the UK, has developed an interactive map showing the exact locations across the U.S. of all reported traffic-related fatalities in the last 10 years. You can see the Norristown section of that map in our photo section or go to ITO World's full U.S. map to investigate other areas.
Just some food for thought as you get behind the wheel this weekend.
