(Lansing, MI) – There have been fewer car crashes since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, but Michigan State Police say more people have died in crashes since then. For the four years before COVID hit the state in 2020, Michigan averaged 300-thousand-429 auto crashes every year and those have fallen to 279-thousand-142.
That is a seven-percent drop. However, deaths from the crashes are up by 12-point-five-percent from 923 to one-thousand-38 a year.
