Fatal crashes were up in Michigan in 2020 despite lighter traffic on the roads. Michigan State Police Lieutenant Mike Shaw has some numbers.

“We’re probably, and these are all unofficial numbers, almost 50 fatalities ahead of last year at this time,” Shaw told Michigan News Network.

Shaw says many drivers were putting the pedal to metal, especially as the pandemic began. Preliminary numbers show Michigan had 50 more fatal crashes than in 2019.
