Tracking the deadliest highways in Wisconsin

December 7, 2009 By Bob Hague

What’s Wisconsin’s deadliest highway? The Interstate, stretching from Kenosha Couunty in the southeast to Hudson in west central Wisconsin. Doug Horn is a highway safety attorney. “That may not be too surprising, that I-94 is rated as the deadliest highway in Wisconsin,” says Horn. “Primarily that’s because of traffic volumes, and particularly truck volume.”

Twenty one people were killed on I-94 last year. Second deadliest was Highway 12 with eleven fatalities, followed by Highway 51 with ten. Horn says distracted driving – talking on cell phones and texting – is an increasing cause of traffic deaths. Horn is the author of “Arrive Alive,” a report that cautions against distracted driving, especially during the holiday season.
