Where the State Highway 33 numbers come from
Counted from NHTSA's Fatality Analysis Reporting System, 2024 Annual Report File: every fatal crash whose road NHTSA filed as State Highway 33 in Oklahoma (filed under 6 spellings, such as "SR-33", "SR-33 116TH ST", "SR-33 E 116TH ST", "SR-33 SR-18 W MAIN ST"). Ramps, frontage and service roads are left out. Where two routes share a road, NHTSA files each crash under one of them, so a shared stretch counts on one route only.
