Lincoln County car accident statistics

According to the Missouri Highway Patrol, there were 810 traffic accidents during 2009 in Lincoln County, 30% of which involved injuries or wrongful deaths. The number of fatalities and personal injuries related to Lincoln County motor vehicle accidents decreased almost 75% in 2010, making it one of the safer counties in Missouri. Even though Lincoln County is relatively safe for the more common, 2-vehicle traffic accidents, it ranks in the top 20% for motorcycle accidents in the entire state. This number is staggering, especially taking into account, one Missourian is killed every 4.5 hours in an accident involving one or more motorcycles.

The population of Troy, Missouri is growing at remarkable rates, increasing 57% from 6,700 to 10,540 in just one decade. This rapid growth in population means more traffic on the roads which means a higher likelihood for traffic accidents. US Highway 61 and Missouri Highway 47 are the major roadways in Troy and the size of these highways are quickly becoming insufficient to handle such growth in traffic volume. According to the Missouri Department of Transportation, there are no road improvement plans in the near future to make commutes easier and safer for drivers. Without such road improvements the number of motor vehicle accidents will most likely continue to increase as they have in years past. As of 2010, 45% of all Troy, Missouri car accidents happened on US–61 and MO–47.

Missouri State Highway Patrol reports show 247 Troy, Missouri traffic accidents during 2009 and 18% of those car wrecks involved injuries or wrongful deaths.
