While the whole state saw a reduction in highway deaths, there was a better drop in the highway deaths in Mower county. Mower County went from four deaths in 2008 to two in 2009.
The two people that were killed were on a motorcycle that hit a minivan.
Austin, the biggest city in the county , did not have any traffic fatalities in 2009 and saw 301 motor-vehicle crashes overall with injuries to 100 people. In 2008, Austin had one traffic fatality and 395 motor-vehicle crashes overall, with 94 people injured.
