New Haven Auto Accidents: Connecticut Drivers 2nd Worst
May 18, 2017Traveling down I-95, I-91, the Wilbur, or downtown? New Haven auto accidents may happen more often. A new study by AAA shows that Connecticut drivers are the second worst in the nation. With over 80 auto accident fatalities already, 2017 is tracking higher than last year (which was the highest in a long time).
As the 49th unsafe state for drivers, those in Connecticut that use the roadways face a different culture of driver. Distracted driving, mobile devices, and the opioid epidemic here in the state have contributed to this ranking, according to the AAA report.
