These are the Most Dangerous Cities to Drive in Indiana
Drive with extra caution if you find yourself in one of these Indiana cities.
While Indiana is full of roads that offer great scenery and make for a great Sunday drive, we also have a few sketchy roads throughout the state too. Whether they are very narrow, curvy, crowded with other drivers, or just full of potholes, I'm sure we can all think of a few roads that we tend to try to avoid for one reason or another. For the most part, the roads that I tend to avoid are the ones that are downright dangerous because of heavy traffic and careless drivers. These roads include major highways, expressways, and interstates throughout Indiana.
Stacker recently released an article that used data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to rank the cities in Indiana with the highest accident rates. Rankings are based on the rate of accidents per 10,000 residents. Given that information, which Indiana cities do you think are the most dangerous to drive in?
