TKC 1ST LOOK!!! INTERACTIVE MAP REVEALS DEADLIEST HIGHWAYS IN MISSOURI AND KANSAS!!!
Because it's slick out there and we wan't you d-bags to be careful . . . This morning we've got an EXCLUSIVE look at an interactive study that identifies and visualizes the most deadly highway stretches in Missouri and Kansas.
This work analyzed over 2 years of collision records and identified 40 segments of state and federal highways where fatal crashes occur at a high rate. These stretches stretches of road totaled approximately 260 miles of highway that accounted for 162 fatal collisions and 182 fatalities. These segments were then ranked by density, measured by fatalities per mile.
The study found:
- A 7.8-mile stretch of US Highway 71 in south Kansas City accounting for 8 crashes and 9 total fatalities
- Jackson County, home to Kansas City, accounted for 22 collisions and 23 fatalities across 5 segments
- A segment of US Highway 24 in east Independence, MO is the deadliest length of highway in our analysis
