Idaho 5th in highway fatality toll

RIGBY -- Our highways may be getting more dangerous as the years go by. There have already been over 19,000 motor-vehicle deaths in the country for the first six months of 2016, and Idaho is pretty high on the list. Compared to the other states, Idaho is number five. The Gem State has an increase of 37 percent in vehicle deaths since last year. Also from January to June of 2016, Idaho has already seen 115 deaths caused by motor accidents/KIFI/KIDK. More here.
