Auto Accidents: Austin Makes Another Top 10 List & Not In A Good Way

Austinites are proud of the many “Top 10” lists honoring our city.  Recently, Austin was named to another top 10 list, but this wasn’t a good one. 

Men’s Health Magazine used a complicated formula to try and determine the safest and most dangerous cities in the country for driving.  According to them:

We tabulated the rate of fatal crashes; the percentage of fatalities involving alcohol, speeding, or hit and run; and the rate of seatbelt use (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration). Then we factored in the average number of years between accidents (Allstate) and laws on cellphone use while driving (Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, and city governments).
