The U.S. is on a pace for what could be the deadliest year on the roads since 2007. According to the National Safety Council, between January and June, about 18,630 people died in traffic accidents across the country -- that's up 14 percent from the same period in 2014 -- and more than 2.2 million were seriously injured.One factor contributing to the uptick in fatal crashes is the improving economy, National Safety Council president former NTSB chairman Deborah Hersman said."They have more disposable income, more Americans are employed, and so they're driving to work, they're taking longer vacations and they're just putting more miles on their car," Hersman said Monday on "CBS This Morning." Gas prices are also 30 percent lower than last year.Summertime in particular is a deadly period, Hersman said.SEE! More people visiting others for backyard BBQ's.And there you have it. 4951
