The Deadliest Months for Speeding Crashes
Fatal speeding crashes cluster in late spring and summer; May's 962 deaths (out of 10,203) meant it was the deadliest month, narrowly ahead of September at 946 and August at 941. June and July round out the top 5 at 935 and 887, respectively, meaning the five months from May to September account for a disproportionate share of the year's 10,203 fatal speeding crashes nationwide.
