The Oklahoman reported good news on the 21st that traffic fatalities are down for the year.  While this is good news, the article goes on to state that, according to the Oklahoma Highway Patrol, 485 people have died on Oklahoma state roads so far this year.

This seems to be following an overall trend for the year.  The Insurance Journal posted an AP article back in March fewer people are dying in traffic accidents on Oklahoma roadways this year compared to 2007.
