Dear Mr. Gaskill,
My letter of 03-14-12 refers .
I thought you might be interested in some statistics concerning
how much more dangerous rural roads are compared to other roads.
These statistics appeared in an article in the 3-3-05 issue of
the Indianapolis Star. In addition, it is noteworthy to compare
the period this article addresses, 1990 to 2003, with the below
tabulation from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administra-
tion (NHTSA) statistics of fatalities resulting from vehicles
hitting utility poles in the United States over approximately the
same period.
Year No. of Fatalities Year No. of Fatalities
1991 1, 454 1998 1, 819
1992 1, 848 1999 1, 856
1993 1, 898 2000 1, 819
1994 1, 779 2001 1, 918
1995 1, 911 2002 1, 997
1996 1, 943 2003 1, 889
1997 1, 849
As you can see, except for 1991, fatalities from vehicles hitting
utility poles held more or less steady over this period.
