According to the Minnesota Department of Public Safety Office of Traffic Safety, speed-related crashes so far in the summer of 2023 are the highest in ten years. The four leading causes of traffic fatalities in Minnesota are impaired driving, distracted driving, lack of seat belt use, and speed. Each year hundreds of Minnesotans lose their lives in crashes.
