With a little less than two weeks still remaining in 2007, Wisconsin has already surpassed the number of traffic fatalities from last year. An increase in the number of motorcycle deaths is being blamed.
The Associated Press reports, “With the busy holiday traveling season still ahead, Wisconsin has already suffered more traffic crash deaths than a year ago, in part because more motorcyclists died, the state Department of Transportation reported Monday. There were 717 people killed on state roads as of Monday morning — 33 more than a year ago at this time, the agency said.”
The Wausau Daily Herald has more details.
As a motorcyclist, I’ve been very concerned about the number of motorcycle fatalities.
My friends at ABATE are also concerned but caution that statistics about motorcycle deaths should be reviewed carefully.
