32% reduction in Florida traffic deaths since 2005. The fatality rate per mile traveled in

2011 held steady at its all-time low, first reached in 2010. Those are some of the findings

in the recently released 2011 Florida Traffic Crash Statistics Report by the Department of

Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, an annual report containing data from traffic crash re-

ports submitted by state and local law enforcement agencies. Fatalities as a result of traffic

crashes on Florida roadways decreased between 2010 and 2011 by nearly 2%, going from

2444 to 2400. Read more on this report: go to www.thenewscaster.com.
