US 93 is a popular but dangerous road, and is responsible for numerous fatal car accidents each year. So dangerous, in fact, that it was named the most dangerous highway in the country by the consumer website Value Penguin. In particular, the most dangerous stretch of this road was between Wickenburg and the Hoover Dam, most notably the portion in Mohave County.
The site looked at federal crash data to determine which road in the country was the most dangerous. Sadly, between 2010 and 2016 more than 90 fatalities occurred on this road between Phoenix and Las Vegas. Compounding the problem is that it is one of the worst highways for emergency medical service times. In fact, injured accident victims on U.S. 93 wait an average of 21 minutes for help to arrive.
According to the Arizona Department of Transportation, 94% of all crashes on U.S. 93 are caused by driver behavior. As such, if you’re driving U.S. 93 this year, it is important to understand the role you, as a driver, play in your safety. While you can’t prevent every accident from occurring, there are some steps you can take to reduce the risk of getting into a serious and fatal car accident.
