Fatal Compact Car Wreck on a Madison Street

At the end of every shift, Madison police officers have the opportunity to select incidents that they think have “significant public interest.” The officers can complete police incident reports, which are available to the public.

In 2019, officers included many traffic incidents as issues of significant public concern. Here, we looked at a random sampling of the motor vehicle accidents that Madison officers found to have a significant public interest to get an idea of what is happening on our city roads and where these accidents are happening.
