“While rush hour is the most dangerous time to drive, and all states had the most fatalities during the afternoon and evening, not a single state had its highest numbers in the morning, which is surprising,” a spokesperson for Scott Vicknair said in a press release.

6 p.m. to 6:59 p.m. saw the most fatalities overall nationwide.
