accidents

This could have been so much more tragic. A new video shows a semi-trailer truck that slammed into a home in Illinois late Wednesday night.

It was early February in 1976 when two Illinois men left an auction and mysteriously vanished. Now, there remains have been found in a car submerged in the Pecatonica River in Illinois, but many questions remain unanswered.

The state crash report says an SUV was traveling west when it left the road and struck a tree.

I come from a family of truck drivers so this is one of those rare internet rankings that I actually care about. Yes, even cynical me can be happy that the interstate that truckers say is the best in America goes straight through Wisconsin.

It has been an eventful start to the weekend in the Great Lakes region as there are reports that a huge freighter collided with an object in Lake Superior north of Wisconsin and was taking on water.

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.

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.

I have likely driven past this innocent-looking Missouri intersection not knowing that it's statistically one of the most dangerous in America.

It's been awhile (fortunately) since I've driven through this Missouri city, but I can testify that something the internet has declared is likely very true. Missouri suddenly has one of the top 5 worst driving cities in America.

My Missouri family like many Missouri families have gotten that phone call you never want to receive. The news that a family member has perished in an accident is becoming an all too familiar event in the Show Me State and data shows the numbers are skyrocketing.
