Share this @internewscast.com

(NEXSTAR) – Unless you are among those who transitioned to remote work in recent years, the daily commute to and from your job is often an unenjoyable routine.

Whether your journey involves congested traffic or simply takes longer than you would prefer, the last thing you’d want is to get into a car accident. Unfortunately, this happens more often than people might expect in certain U.S. cities.

An annual analysis by MoneyGeek identifies the ‘most dangerous’ commutes across the nation. To determine this, they assessed the average number of fatal crashes per year during morning commute times in over 100 major U.S. cities.

Leading the list with the “most dangerous” commute is Memphis, Tennessee, which records a fatal crash rate of 0.84 per 100,000 residents during the morning rush hour.

Close behind is Tucson, Arizona, with a fatal crash rate of 0.80, followed by Lexington-Fayette, Kentucky (0.71), and Greensboro-High Point, North Carolina (0.70).

After the top four, the list takes a noticeable dip in fatal crash rates, with Albuquerque, New Mexico, in fifth having a 0.52 fatal crash rate.

Here’s how the rest of the top 10 shook out according to MoneyGeek.

Rank City Morning Commute Fatal Crash Rate
1. Memphis, TN-MS-AR 0.84
2. Tucson, AZ 0.80
3. Lexington-Fayette, KY 0.71
4. Greensboro-High Point, NC 0.70
5. Albuquerque, NM 0.52
6. Chattanooga, TN-GA 0.51
7. Jacksonville, FL 0.50
8. Baton Rouge, LA 0.48
9. San Antonio-New Braunfels, TX 0.44
10. Winston-Salem, NC 0.37

On a more positive note, most of these commutes are not excessively lengthy. The average morning commute in many of these cities ranges from about 20 to 25 minutes.

That’s about 10 minutes faster than the longest average commutes on the list, like Chicago and Philadelphia, and 20 minutes faster than New York City.
