Nebraska Traffic Deaths Hit Record Low in March
(KTNC) - A record low number of deaths were recorded on Nebraska roads last month. There were just six traffic deaths on Nebraska roadways during the month of March.
Nebraska Department of Highway Safety Administrator Fred Zwonechek says not only is that an all time low for the month of March but the lowest monthly total since they started keeping records in 1936. But Zwonechek says with this good news comes the bad. (play audio :21)
