There is some science to decide what intersections in Illinois are more dangerous than others. Statistically, the most perilous in the Land of Lincoln has a collision rate exceeding all others with nearly 200 collisions and if you've driven through it, you know why.
It looks like any typical rural Illinois highway, but it's ranked as one of the most feared roadways in America. Why? The truth is that this innocent-looking path through the Land of Lincoln is a death trap waiting to happen and I can prove it with data.
It was a busy and in some cases tragic weekend on Missouri roads over the Memorial Day weekend as the Missouri State Highway Patrol report hundreds of accidents including at least 7 fatalities over that 3 day holiday period.
It's deadly now, but used to be even worse. The truth is that the most feared road in Missouri has very much earned the deadly reputation it's developed for decades.
