Idaho Advocates Urge Extreme Caution as "100 Deadliest Days" Approach

Boise, Idaho -

With the imminent arrival of Memorial Day weekend, marking the commencement of the "100 Deadliest Days" on Idaho roads, the Idaho Advocates, a distinguished Boise-based personal injury law firm, is issuing an urgent call to all drivers to exercise the utmost caution and responsibility while operating their vehicles during this perilous time.

Preliminary data released by the Idaho Transportation Department's Office of Highway Safety (OHS) paints a grim picture, revealing that at least 92 individuals tragically lost their lives in crashes during the 100 Deadliest Days last year, a period that spans from Memorial Day to Labor Day. The vast majority of these heart-wrenching fatalities were attributed to vehicle crashes, closely followed by motorcycle crashes and incidents involving pedestrians.

"The devastating loss of 92 precious lives serves as a stark and poignant reminder of the paramount importance of adhering to safe driving practices," said Damian Kidd, Managing Partner at Idaho Advocates. "We implore all Idahoans to make road safety their utmost priority by consistently wearing seat belts, eliminating all forms of distraction, and never getting behind the wheel while under the influence of alcohol or drugs."

The OHS data delves deeper into the primary contributing factors that led to these tragic fatalities, highlighting the failure to wear seat belts, lane departures, excessive speed, impaired driving, and failure to yield the right of way as the most prominent causes. Idaho Advocates emphasizes that most crashes are the result of a complex interplay of multiple contributing factors, underscoring the urgent need for heightened vigilance and responsible driving behaviors from all motorists.

"As a law firm deeply committed to advocating for the rights of car accident victims, we have witnessed firsthand the profound and far-reaching impact these preventable tragedies have on individuals, families, and entire communities," added Kelby Monks, Managing Attorney at the Idaho Advocates.
