"Experts Warn of Increased Risk of Fatal Car Crashes During April's Solar Eclipse"

Scientists have issued a warning ahead of the upcoming solar eclipse in April, expressing concerns about a potential spike in fatal car crashes as millions of people are expected to travel to witness the event. Research from the University of Toronto shows that the 2017 eclipse led to a 31% increase in fatal car crashes, with over 1,000 extra road deaths across the US three days before and after the eclipse. The surge in driving activity around the event is attributed to people traveling to prime viewing locations, raising concerns about road safety. NASA has created an immersive map to track the eclipse's journey from Mexico across the US and Canada.
