The silver lining in those dark numbers is that the number of people passing away each year in traffic accidents across the country seems leveling off after 2 years of sharp increases. Based on state-reported stats, the National Safety Council says roughly 18,720 individuals died on U.S. highways in between January and June of this year.

From 2014 to 2016, the variety of people killed in motor vehicle crashes jumped from a little over 35,000 to more than 40,000, before leveling off at about 40,000 casualties in 2015, a pattern that seems continuing.
