Utah’s rate of fatal traffic accidents declined for the second straight year in 2018. This made the number of deaths that took place on its roads as low as it has been in a long time. As reported by the Utah Department of Transportation, in that same year, there were 264 car accident-related deaths, the lowest fatality rate since 2014, when 256 crash fatalities took place.
