NJ's Most Fatal Roads In Monmouth, Ocean, And Camden Counties

In Jersey, we do a lot of sitting in traffic. Some of that is due to the sheer volume of people we have in the tri-state, and the rest of that is due to traffic accidents.

A website called Money Geek did a study to determine New Jersey’s most dangerous roads and the info is pretty jarring.

They really did their research and looked at over 1,640 fatal crashes reported to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration from 2017 through 2019 and this is what they found.

Over 800 roads were looked at with factors such as environmental challenges, infrastructure, and drunk or distracted driving.

They looked county-by-county and found that Middlesex County had the highest number of fatal crashes but other counties like Camden and Ocean were not far behind...

Here are some stats...

Apparently what you drive says something about your personality. What does your car say about you?

WHAT'S YOUR CAR PERSONALITY?

We all make snap judgements whether we want to admit it or not...well, it turns out that you guys are willing to share exactly what you think (Jersey shocker). I asked you what your perceptions are of New Jersey drivers behind certain vehicles and you had a lot to say...
