Friday Is the Deadliest Weekday for Rush-Hour Traffic Fatalities

This table ranks weekdays only (Monday–Friday) by the total number of motor vehicle fatalities occurring during rush-hour travel periods in 2023. Rush hour is defined as 6:00–8:59 a.m. and 4:00–7:59 p.m. Figures represent the number of people killed during these peak commuting windows, not the number of crashes. Weekend data has been excluded to isolate weekday commuting risk.
