Burke County Releases Motor Vehicle Accident Data
Statistics from Burke County, North Carolina were released earlier this week related to motor vehicle accidents for 2010. According to the statistics:
Burke County had fewer traffic fatalities and injuries this past year.
In 2010, law enforcement officers responded to 7 fatal traffic accidents. In 2009, they had responded to 10 fatal traffic accidents.
432 traffic accident related injuries were reported in 2010. In 2009, the number was slightly higher with 473 traffic accident related injuries.
Officers in the area are not sure why both figures fell, but they have reason to believe that increased police visibility and new efforts to keep motorists informed about safety laws and traffic operations may have contributed to the decrease.
