The Lafayette Area Has One of the Highest Vehicle Accident Rates in the State
According to the Indiana Criminal Justice Institute, Tippecanoe County, where Lafayette is located, had the second-highest rate of vehicle collisions in the state in 2019. That year, the county had 405 crashes per 100 vehicle miles traveled.
The high accident rate is likely because Lafayette is a heavily traveled area. Interstate 65 and U.S. Highways 52 and 31 pass through the city, as do several Indiana state roads. Additionally, Lafayette is just across the Wabash River from Purdue University, which served nearly 50,000 students in 2020, according to the Office of Admissions.
