(Grand Rapids, MI) – Deadly crashes in Michigan fell by seven-percent in 2025 compared to 2024. Data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says there were one-thousand-21 deadly crashes in the state last year, and the downturn is in line with a broader national trend. The national number of deadly crashes in 2025 was 36-thousand-640, down six-point-seven-percent from 2024.

The Michigan Department of Transportation says the spike in deadly wrecks in the early 2020s coincided with the COVID-19 pandemic and drivers going “at much higher speeds.”
