According to the Tennessee Department of Safety, there were a total of 106 auto accident fatalities in Knoxville throughout 2012, while there were a total of 1,014 total auto accident fatalities across the state.
With Knoxville Metropolitan Statistical Area having a population of 848,350 it is no wonder why there are a great number of auto accident fatalities throughout Knoxville each year. While law enforcement officials continue to battle against negligent drivers, the fatality rate has remained relatively consistent throughout the years.
