Speeders, stop sign violators blamed for deadly crashes in Lincoln County
More than 5,000 wrecks from 2020 to 2024 have commissioners resolving to lower fatal crash rate
A rash of deadly crashes on Lincoln County roads is being blamed on speed and running stop signs.
That’s why county commissioners in Canton this week signed off on a new resolution committing to improve traffic safety in the fast-growing jurisdiction where population boom brings road dangers with it.
“That’s being caused by speed and people not stopping at those intersections,” said Sam Trebilcock, a traffic consultant in Houston Engineering’s Sioux Falls office, who told the commission that 5,818 crashes occurred on Lincoln County roads from 2020 to 2024.
