Fairfax County continues to lead the state in traffic deaths. In 2017, Fairfax County's 35 traffic-related fatalities was the highest in the state. The 35 traffic deaths in Fairfax County represent one more fatality than 2016 but less than the 47 deaths in 2012.
"Virginia has 95 counties and 38 independent cities. Yet the roads of Fairfax County are the scenes of the highest number of traffic crashes, highway fatalities, and road traffic injuries in Virginia," said John B. Townsend II, AAA Mid-Atlantic's manager of public and government affairs, in a news release. "As of last year, 225 persons have lost their lives in traffic crashes in Fairfax County since 2012."
