Texas on pace to surpass traffic fatalities in 2021
SAN ANTONIO – Traffic fatalities climbed to a daily average of 10.7 in Texas this week, according to Texas Transportation Commissioner Laura Ryan. It’s a number she finds troubling.
“This is the first time I’ve seen multiple days in one month at 10.7 and continue to climb,” Ryan said at Thursday’s commission meeting. “We’re not heading in the right direction and I say that to bring awareness, not to state that we’re not doing anything to continue to prevent it.”
