The number of deaths on Kansas roads went up by about 10 percent in the last year, showing how the roads are becoming more dangerous with each passing year. Kansas’s interstates and highways are known for having a lot of traffic, but most major accidents happen on city streets, where more than half of the state’s accidents were reported.
