The Tar Heel economy took a $207 million whack from traffic accidents last year. The immense dollar loss came from highway deaths, injuries, hospital and funeral expenses, loss of income, property damage, and lawsuits. The year's traffic toll included 1,254 fatalities, and over 34,000 injuries, with 60,000 mishaps reported. Only four of the 100 counties in the state escaped without a fatality from traffic accidents.
