A new report ranking the deadliest highways in the nation calls Interstate 10 the “most dangerous” in Arizona.
But Arizona highway officials say the ranking is incomplete and overlooks a variety of efforts made to make the highway that links the two most populous metro areas in the state as safe as possible.
There were 100 fatalities on Arizona’s nearly 400 miles of I-10 from 2015 to 2017, according to ASecureLife’s report, which used statistics from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
The company, which mainly deals in security systems, said it seeks to report on everyday issues affecting consumers.
“The ASecureLife team aims to help consumers stay informed on issues that can affect their safety or security,” company officials said.
“We do this through continuous research, tests, reviews and reports.”
Its reports have ranged from cyberbullying to making a 72-hour emergency survival kit.
The company noted in its highway report that it was not a basis for road safety rankings.
