A MoneyGeek analysis of traffic data — specifically fatal accidents — has resulted in a statewide list of the deadliest roads in the Commonwealth.

Drivers in Bucks County, home to two of them, should be careful in general but especially during commutes involving them. Doug Milnes, a MoneyGeek Chartered Financial Analyst, mined the tragic data to alert drivers of the ongoing hazard.

The study examined all 3,176 recorded crashes in Pa. between 2017 and 2019 that resulted in fatalities.

It found that Bucks County drivers owe their sharpest attention while traveling on:

• US-13, from Levittown Parkway to Beaver Street in Bristol/Tullytown
• State Route 132 Street Road, from High Ave. to Central Ave. in Bensalem

Along the statewide stretches that proved most dangerous, MoneyGeek found the following fateful trends for 2017–2019:

• 39.6 percent of these tragic collisions involved speeding (the most of any factor in the study)
• Drunk driving was a factor in 25.3 percent (803) of fatal accidents
• Distracted driving was at least partly responsible for 6.1 percent of collisions that took lives
• October proved to be the riskiest month, with 10 percent of all fatalities, followed by July and June
