Idaho's 2025 100 Deadliest Days result in 88 fatalities

BOISE- During the 100 Deadliest Days, 88 people were killed in crashes on Idaho roads, according to preliminary data from the Idaho Office of Highway Safety (OHS).

During this time, more people are on vacation, celebrating, or traveling, and risky driving behaviors tend to rise. Of the 60 people killed in motor vehicle crashes, 23 were not wearing seat belts. Nearly one-quarter of those killed this summer were motorcyclists.

"Every death is a tragedy," said Jo Middleton, Highway Safety Manager. "We can save lives by always wearing a seat belt, driving engaged, driving sober, and slowing down so everyone can make it home safely."

The Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) and OHS are working hard to change this trend. In addition to gathering and sharing critical data, they are:

  • Increasing public awareness with statewide campaigns to educate drivers about high-risk behaviors during the 100 Deadliest Days.

  • Expanding enforcement efforts in partnership with local law enforcement to reduce impaired and aggressive driving and to boost seat belt use.

  • Engaging communities with outreach programs and safety resources that help drivers make smarter choices.

  • Enhancing and modernizing infrastructure to improve safety on Idaho's roadways and reduce crash severity.

These efforts show ITD and OHS's deep commitment to protecting Idahoans and saving lives, not just tracking statistics.
