I-95 called America's Deadliest

The website FarandWide calls I-95 the deadliest highway in America. The site says that federal data ranks it as the most fatal highway in the country, with over 280 deaths recorded in one year.

"It doesn’t matter if you’re rolling through Miami or stuck in Northeast traffic; I-95 is chaos on pavement. Speeding, lane-weaving, and sudden weather shifts turn this coast-hugging freeway into a death trap."
