The deadliest road stretches in the US
Counting every fatal crash in federal records from 2020 through 2024, I-45 (North Fwy) in Harris County, Texas had the most: 234 crashes that killed 246 people. California has 32, Florida has 23, Texas has 22 of the 100 stretches below.
A stretch is one road inside one county, so a long interstate can appear several times. These are raw counts, not rates: busy roads in big counties carry more traffic and rise to the top.
