U.S. roadway deaths rose 7% during the first three months of the year. For the second year in a row, the number of traffic fatalities in the United States has increased.
Traffic deaths have risen ever since pandemic lockdowns eased in 2020 as people returned to work and started taking more road trips. People drove about 40 billion more miles in the first quarter than a year earlier, a 5.6% increase, the agency said.
