(Atlantic) Iowa traffic fatalities continue an upward trend. Iowa State Patrol Trooper and District #4 Public Information Officer Shelby McCreedy says so far in 2022, 216 people have died on Iowa’s roadways, six more than at this same time one year ago.
Trooper McCreedy says one thing the Iowa Department of Transportation is doing is categorizing where these fatal crashes are occurring.
McCreedy says most of these traffic fatalities are not occurring in the high-volume traffic danger areas.
Trooper McCreedy says Urban fatal crashes have claimed the lives of 62-people, and 36 of them are motorcycle crashes.
Trooper McCreedy says do not misunderstand where the dangers are; there are hazards everywhere despite the type of roadway.
