Study Finds Glades Among Top 10 Florida Counties With the Highest Fatal Crash Rates
A new study reveals Glades County has the third-highest fatal crash rate in Florida.
A new study by Florida-based personal injury lawyers Anidjar & Levine analyzed the fatal traffic crash data between 2020 and 2024 from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). By comparing the population of counties to respective crash rates, the research identified areas that put drivers at the highest risk.
Glades County takes the third spot, with 43.8 fatal crashes per 100,000 residents. Among the population of 12,786 the county saw an average of 5.6 fatal crashes each year between 2020 and 2024.
Looking at the study, a spokesperson from The Law Offices of Anidjar & Levine commented,
“Fatal traffic crashes in Glades County don’t just end lives, they disrupt families, burden local economies, and strain emergency services. Families face overwhelming grief along with medical bills and financial instability. These accidents create a chain reaction of hardships that extend far beyond the crash site“To reduce these tragedies, Glades County needs stricter traffic law enforcement, improved road lighting, safer pedestrian infrastructure, and stronger public awareness campaigns. High-risk counties, especially those with outdated road systems, require immediate intervention before more lives are lost”.
