Not much rhyme or reason to this, is there?

It's the usual suspects from a lot of other quizzes. Also, rural states with windy roads and long distances to travel have higher per capita rates than traffic clogged, slow moving areas.

Rural states with low population density and less money for infrastructure.

Did you get this idea from my one live quiz, or do great minds think alike?

You know how the news will jump on statistics like something needs to be done now?

"Our state leads the nation in [some negative thing]."

"State in bottom 10 nationally for [something positive]."

Do they just give up and report other stuff that's actual news to them in Mississippi, Alabama, Arkansas and West Virginia?

It really is amazing that Mississippi appears to be at the top of every list for which you don't want to be at the top. Even this one, where no particular reason comes to mind why Mississippi should be ahead of the others. It has five times Wyoming's population and still comes out worse on a per capita basis. The government there must really have its priorities out of order.

I guess in Mississippi, driving is considered a contact sport.

anyone check the speed limits compared to the national average in these states? I am pretty sure places in Wyoming and New Mexico have no or very high limits.

Raising the speed limit 10 mph in other states led to an increase of more than 15% in yearly traffic fatalities.

Seriously? For a quiz with 10 answers, I think that only 1 minute is not enough.

Absolutely every US statistic:

Least place: West Virginia

Then Mississippi, Arkansas, Alabama

Then Louisiana, New Mexico, South Carolina

Then Kentucky, Wyoming, Missouri

Then Oklahoma, Indiana, Georgia

Then the middle part

On top: Massachusetts.
