Three of the worst counties are in the metro-Denver area.
Further analysis of the data showed that lane violations, which weren't a focus of the January announcement, had contributed to the grim statistics more than originally realized. For instance, such offenses resulting in injury crashes rose by 30.6 percent in 2021, and fatalities in which they were the cause spiked by 74 percent.
The five counties with the most deaths from lane violations in 2021 were El Paso, Douglas, Boulder, Mesa and Jefferson. Master Trooper Gary Cutler, a CSP spokesperson, wasn't able to provide last year's figures for Boulder, but these are the totals for the other four:Cutler notes that El Paso County also led the state in lane-violation deaths in 2019 and 2020 — and the nine fatal crashes linked to the issue represent more than 10 percent of its total.
Over the past three years, the CSP found that lane-violation crashes happened most frequently on Saturdays, with the peak hours falling between 2 p.m. and 6 p.m. But no matter the day or time, Packard believes drivers are more likely to remain between the white lines if they avoid distractions."Focus and control behind the wheel occurs when the task of driving is your number-one priority and receives your full attention," he advises.
