Fatal Car Accidents in Milwaukee and Wisconsin
In Wisconsin, around 419 people had died in traffic accidents so far in 2025, with about 385 fatal crashes reported statewide. Milwaukee County has the highest number of crashes in many years compared to other counties. Also, although the number of crashes has gone down in some areas, the number of deadly crashes is going up—meaning accidents are more severe when they happen.
Some of the main causes of fatal car accidents in Milwaukee and Wisconsin include speeding, driving while impaired (by alcohol or drugs), and distracted driving. For example, speeding is involved in a large share of deadly crashes, especially when drivers exceed limits or go too fast for road conditions. Impaired driving is another big factor—many fatal crashes happen when a driver is under the influence. Also, not wearing seat belts, nighttime driving, and wrong‑way driving contribute to the danger
