Loop 12 traffic deaths drop sharply after safety upgrades

>Here are the headline numbers: In just one year, from 2024 to 2025, Dallas had a 19% drop in fatal crashes citywide. And, so far this year, there have been 38 fatal crashes, two fewer than at this time last year. >What's more remarkable are the numbers on Loop 12, where the city and state focused so much attention after our **NBC 5 Investigates** series, [Driven to Death](https://www.nbcdfw.com/tag/driven-to-death/). That's where the city reports a 52% drop in fatal crashes over the last year, down from 25 in 2024. >This year, so far, only three fatalities on Loop 12. But none of those happened on southern loop 12.
