  Despite less travel, the National Safety Council says vehicle deaths rose 8% during the last year. Wisconsin officials says the increase can be seen in the Badger state.
Preliminary data from the NSC showed 42,000 people died in crashes in 2020 compared to 39,000 in 2019. Wisconsin was one of the states that saw the rise.
Director of the Bureau of Transportation, David Pabst said, "what we did see what a drop in vehicle crashes, but fatalities went up."
The crashes that do happen are more severe. And the DOT says there's one group predominantly responsible.
