Sometimes dysfunctional state politics plays a major role in US highway fatalities. E.g. I-5 [1] in Oregon. It has had numerous head-on crashes over the years because there are no barriers on large stretches of the road.
This isn't a "farm to market" road which some local hicks use to bring their vegetables in to the city to sell. This is the primary Interstate highway that goes North-South from the state of Washington thru the state of Oregon to the state of California. It's heavily used by both local commuters and long distance travelers.

BTW it rains a lot in Oregon!
