Whether it’s some late-night Taco Bell for when you legally shouldn’t be driving or just waiting for something from Amazon, you should be thankful for your delivery drivers — especially in Wyoming.
That’s because an analysis of crash data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration finds that Wyoming is the most dangerous state in which to be a delivery driver.
The examination, conducted by Florida personal injury and car accident lawyers Anidjar & Levine, looked into the number of fatal crashes involving courier-style vehicles in each state, and The Cowboy State had an average of 10.14 deaths per 100,000 residents each year.
That’s 102% higher than the national average, the experts say.
Drilling down on the numbers, Saturdays between 4 p.m. and 5 p.m. in the month of July are statistically the worst time to be a delivery driver in Wyoming.
Coming in second to Wyoming was Montana, averaging 8.59 fatal collisions involving delivery vehicles annually per 100,000 residents, with Mississippi ranking third (8.42/100,000).
Arkansas placed fourth with 8.34/100,000 residents, and South Carolina ranked fifth, with an average of 8.09/100,000 a year.
While one might think states like New York and New Jersey would be high on the list, the data proved them to be among the safest.
