(Undated) — The Iowa State Patrol says 2023 was more dangerous than the five-year average for people on the road. The daily death rate for last year was 20-percent higher than the five-year average.
Troopers say they are seeing drivers going faster than before and have written 117 tickets so far this year to people going over 100-miles-an-hour. They say that is leading to many people’s deaths.
