Nearly 370,000 people died from vehicular accidents between 2001 and 2009, according to The Guardian, and ITO World, a group of transport data mapping professionals, put together a display of data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
Zooming into the map reveals two vehicular deaths in Westwood, both of which occured on East Street - one involving a 64-year-old male in 2004 near the East Street Rotary and a 58-year-old female in 2009 under the East Street Bridge.
Vehicular accidents are nothing new to the East Street area in Islington. The East Street Rotary alone is a veritable hub for fender-benders and accidents as traffic weaves in and over Rte. 128.
The East Street Bridge, meanwhile, has a reported history of bad accidents, with one accident requiring the use of a Medflight helicopter in August.
What's more, the area has been a recent cause for concern after officials in Westwood and Dedham discussed a proposal for a new healthcare facility on Allied Drive, which juts out from the rotary and lies on the borders of the two towns.
