Study Flags Florida I-95 As Nation’s Deadliest Stretch

A new analysis from the Schiller Kessler Group shows Florida’s run of I-95 ranks among the most dangerous in the country. Between 2019 and 2023, the highway saw 1,729 deaths — nearly a quarter of all fatalities on I-95 nationwide. Brevard County is part of that trend, with crashes locally tied to heavy traffic, high speeds, and a steady flow of out-of-state drivers. Authorities say the numbers underline the need for stricter enforcement and more awareness behind the wheel.
