That’s according to a study by the Dallas-based The Barber Law Firm.

The study looked at the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration ‘s Fatality Analysis Reporting System data from 2018 to 2022.

“The data shows that in all states, certain routes must be approached with more caution than others,” said Kris Barber, founder of The Barber Law Firm.

Most of the fatalities on Rt. 611 were in Philadelphia and suburban areas in Montgomery and Bucks counties.
