Overall, across the U.S., the data shows that over a four-year span (2017-2021) there were more male fatalities on the road per 100,000 people, than women.

The state that saw the most male fatalities on the road was Hawaii, where men are more six times likely to die in a car crash, than women drivers.

WHAT DO COLORADO'S NUMBERS SHOW WHEN IT COMES TO MALE DRIVERS?

The research conducted by 1800AskDave.com found that over the four-year span, 2,072 Coloradans died in car crashes; of that 2,072, 1,646 of them were men.

That puts Colorado at #6 in the nation, with men being more than FOUR TIMES likely to perish in a car crash.
