2010 highway deaths lowest in 61 years

Highway traffic deaths fell to 32,885 in 2010, the lowest level since 1949, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said. The number of fatalities decreased in spite of a 1.6 percent increase in the number of miles driven by Americans last year over 2009. Besides saving lives, improved safety also saves money for car insurance companies, which translates into lower car insurance rates for consumers.
