- Ninety-nine people died in traffic-related crashes in Prince George’s County, Maryland, and 35 lost their lives to crashes in Fairfax County, Virginia, in 2017. The numbers mark an upswing from 2016 (75 for Prince George’s, 34 for Fairfax), despite both counties’ efforts to eliminate roadway fatalities.
- Mid-Atlantic AAA data show that Prince George’s County is particularly dangerous for pedestrians, with 24 losing their lives in 2017 compared to 19 in 2016. That gives the county the unpleasant distinction of having the highest number of pedestrian fatalities in the D.C. area.
