According to a news report published on hudsonvalleypost.com, one of the “deadliest roads in America,” has been identified. The news report states that the Taconic State Parkway in New York State is the 7th deadliest road in America. The Taconic State Parkway is the only road in New York to make the list. The Taconic State Parkway is a 100-mile road that starts north of New York City and ends in Chatham. The road has narrow lanes and hazardous intersections that are even more dangerous when inclement weather occurs. The news report also states that US Route 1 in Florida is the deadliest road in the United States.
The Taconic State Parkway listed as one of the most deadly roads in America is not surprising to residents of the Hudson Valley since the road has been previously identified as the most dangerous road in New York. The two-lane road is also one of the most overcrowded highways in New York and has several twists and turns that make the road extremely dangerous. Over the past three years, there have been more than 2,000 accidents on the Taconic.
There are more than 40,000 motorists dying in car accidents each year in the United States and motor vehicle accidents are the leading cause of death for people under 30 in the United States.
