ALSO, FOR THE SECOND STRAIGHT YEAR, THE NUMBER OF FATALITIES ALSO DECREASED. THERE WERE 3146 ACCIDENTS LAST YEAR, INVOLVING 5795 VEHICLES, KILLING 33.

AS FAR AS FATALITIES GO, THE WORST YEAR WAS 2005, WHEN 48 PEOPLE LOST THEIR LIVES ON CHARLOTTE COUNTY ROADWAYS. DAVENPORT SAID HE IS PROUD OF THE MEN AND WOMEN OF THE SHERIFF’S OFFICE, PARTICULARLY THE TRAFFIC UNIT, WHO ARE OUT ON OUR STREETS ENFORCING OUR TRAFFIC LAWS AND MAKING OUR STREETS SAFER FOR OUR CITIZENS.
