Residents of Oklahoma know full well how dangerous roads and highways can be. Unfortunately, sometimes these travels can become deadly.

According to a study of national data, two counties in Oklahoma ranked as some of the highest in the United States for traffic fatalities, per capita, for counties with 20,000 to 149,999 residents.

Of counties in that population grouping, Seminole County was ranked the 13th-most deadly for traffic fatalities, and McCurtain County ranked 18th.

The study from Convoy used data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and found that the number of traffic fatalities in the U.S. each year ranges between 35,000 and 45,000 fatalities.
