Traffic accidents claimed 186 lives in Nebraska in 2010, the second-lowest total since the state began keeping records in 1937. The low number marked the first time Nebraska fell below the rate of 1 fatality per 100 million miles driven, a goal set by safety officials in 2007’s Nebraska Strategic Highway Safety Plan. In 2009, 223 people died in motor vehicle accidents in the state.
