Missouri Meets 2012 Goal
Two Years Early
More people arrived alive on Missouri roads in 2010, the fifth year in a row with a reduction in roadway fatalities. As of Jan. 25, 2011, the number of fatalities stands at 821 for 2010 - which means 436 lives were saved last year alone.
"These numbers show we're saving lives on Missouri highways, and that's a great thing," said Kevin Keith, director of the Missouri Department of Transportation. "That means more people we know and love are making it home safely."
Not since 1949 has Missouri seen so few people killed in highway crashes. Overall since 2005, 1,538 lives have been saved on Missouri roadways, a decrease of 35 percent. The coalition credits a combination of law enforcement, educational efforts, emergency medical services, engineering enhancements and public policy as the successful formula for saving lives.
