WARREN COUTY, OH -- While the Ohio State Highway Patrol (OSHP) reports a 7% reduction in fatal crashes during the 100 Deadliest Days of Summer, Warren County saw both an increase in crashes and fatalities.
This time period, which runs from Memorial Day through Labor Day, sees an increase in traffic on the roads and an increased number of both serious-injury and fatal crashes. Crashes during this time in Warren County, went from 1,219 crashes and four fatalities in 2024 to 1,294 crashes and five fatalities in 2025.
According to preliminary Patrol statistics, there were 339 fatal crashes, which resulted in 370 deaths, during this year’s 100 Deadliest Days of Summer timeframe. This year saw 25 fewer fatal crashes and 23 fewer fatalities compared to last year. Additionally, the OSHP recorded 1,703 serious-injury crashes, a 17% decrease from 2024’s statistics.
“While we are encouraged by the decrease in crashes and fatalities, we know one life lost is still one too many,” said Colonel Charles A. Jones, Patrol superintendent. “These numbers reflect the hard work of our troopers, and we urge everyone to never drive impaired, eliminate distractions and always buckle up.”
