Fewer people are dying on Missouri roadways. Data released this week shows that Missouri recoded 871 highway deaths in 2009; this is the lowest number since 1949, when there were fewer than 850 traffic fatalities recorded. Highway deaths in Missouri have been declining for several years. In 2003, 1,232 highway fatalities were recorded.
In the 12-county Missouri-Kansas bi-state area, there were 192 highway deaths. This is down from 228 in 2008.
The new numbers may fluctuate as some year-end auto accidents may have not yet been recorded.
