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.
The state of Illinois has known that it has a problem with this interstate so police decided to do something about it. A sting operation was just completed on I-57, one of America's most dangerous roadways.
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.
There is one Missouri place that is really a dichotomy. It doesn't seem like one lake could be the best place to swim while also being one of the most dangerous in America, but that is the case for one iconic Missouri location.
