Highway deaths in Pennsylvania dropped to 1,468 last year, which marks the fewest fatalities on commonwealth roads in 14 years, PennDOT Secretary Allen D. Biehler said in a statement.
"While we are encouraged to see that these numbers are continuing to decline, we know there is much more that can be done to improve highway safety," Biehler said. "We urge motorists to avoid life-threatening behaviors such as driving impaired, not wearing a seat belt and driving aggressively. Simply, 'Drive Safe PA.'"
Fatalities in aggressive driving crashes decreased significantly to 913 from 971 in 2007,
according to PennDOT.
