FOCUS: Georgia auto fatalities rising, so Drive Alert. Arrive Alive.

By Russell R. McMurry | Over one thousand fatalities. Over one thousand lives lost on Georgia’s roads. Over one thousand families in turmoil.

Georgia has reached an alarming milestone of over 1,000 traffic fatalities in 2015, with several months remaining in the year. As of October 1, the number of people who died in roadway crashes in Georgia was 1,006 — almost one every 6-1/2 hours; about four per day (3.67 fatalities to be exact) – just short of 26 deaths a week.
