A new report issued from the Florida Highway Patrol compiled crash data from around the state for 2008.
Unbelievably- Jacksonville was the top city for the number of crashes in Florida, even topping Miami by about 50 percent. There were 14,000 crashes in Jacksonville in 2008.
There is some good news to report. There were 2,983 traffic fatalities on Florida's roads in 2008, down from 3,221 the year before. This is the first time there have been fewer than 3,000 fatalities on Florida's roads since 2000. Alcohol-related crashes declined six percent during the same time period. Still, drunk driving contributes to about 40 percent of traffic accidents.
