The State With The Deadliest Roads In America Is . . .

Recently, the people over at "Reader's Digest" crunched a bunch of numbers, and compiled a state-by-state list of the safest and deadliest roads in America.

--Based on safety, traffic congestion, and the condition of streets and bridges, the five states with the SAFEST roads are:

#1.) Kansas
#2.) Wisconsin
#3.) Montana
#4.) New Mexico
#5.) Utah

--And the five states with the DEADLIEST roads, based on the number of fatalities per 100 million drivers, are:

#1.) Montana
#2.) Louisiana
#3.) South Carolina
#4.) West Virginia
#5.) Arkansas

--You probably noticed Montana made BOTH lists. According to "Reader's Digest", that's because Montana's roads are in good condition, but there are still a lot of deadly crashes for other reasons.

--For example, Montana is the state with the most deadly DUI accidents.

--And the state with the most deadly accidents caused by speeding is Alabama.
