...Leading the grim ranking is Interstate 15 in San Bernardino County, which recorded 80 fatal crashes over three years, more than any other highway in the nation. Stretching from San Diego to the Nevada border, I-15 serves as a critical connection between Los Angeles and Las Vegas, carrying a relentless stream of tourists, commuters, and freight trucks.

Whatever that road is that is like six or eight lanes wide in California that heads to San Diego with everyone driving 100mph and more, well been on that and it was surreal.
No thank you. I can well believe it could be one of America’s deadliest highways.
I’m glad to be off it. I survived.
It’s a busy road too. And long.
Nothing around Atlanta? Bizzare.
Place with most people driving has most car accidents
Curry Highways ?
Do live anywhere near the deceased late night talk show host Art Bell? At one point he lived in Pahrump, NV and frequently mentioned it was in the high desert.
Back in Art Bell’s day, Pahrump was a small backwater desert town.I live way south of there, 150 miles.
As opposed to what? Being gentle?
I’m disappointed that the Shurekill Expressway near Killadelphia didn’t make the list.
Surekill*
Looks like they have expanded a bit from Art’s trailer park days. The population is around 44K now. I can see Sunday night as being the most deadliest time to leave LAV to head back to LAX on I15.
Houston laughs derisively at Atlanta.
Congested highways are usually among the safest. NYC has some of the lowest auto fatality rates anywhere — because on most major highways, there’s only about 4-5 hours in a typical 24-hour day where you can even drive fast enough to be involved in a fatal crash.
Mostly drunks heading to or from Vegas
That’s because road rage shooting deaths weren’t considered.
Used to live in Seattle Area. I-5 and 99 run parallel separated by only a few miles. 99 is freeway in some places, but mostly surface streets. Both are undersized. What surprised me the most was SR7 in Pierce County. That is not even a freeway. It is a surface street that never becomes limited access but takes you to Mount Rainier.
When it was a two-lane highway, the Bloody Baker Grade, an 18-mile-long grade north of Baker, Calif. along what is now I-15 was the scene of many accidents. These often occurred when northbound cars heading uphill tried to pass slower vehicles only to collide with southbound cars heading downhill.
The English actress Belinda Lee died on the Baker Grade in 1961 when the sports car in which she was riding went out of control. And in 1968, a wrong-way drunk driver collided with a bus trying to pass a slower northbound vehicle, killing 19 people.
The Baker Grade is much safer now, with four lanes for cars and a truck lane going either way, and a median strip.
I remember him mentioning that, it was part of his routine intro. Man was a bit “off”, but then again, who isnt these days.
Not I-95. It’s hard to get into a serious accident when you are averaging 20 MPH.
