It could also be that more people are driving more frequently and further because of the generally lower gas prices.
Wisconsin lists the increase as highway deaths and it directly correlates to the increase in speed limits.

Deaths per mile traveled have gone up so throw that out as well.

Single vehicle accidents and rear ended accidents have increase as well (meaning distracted driving is just as deadly on the highway as it is in the city.)

And to think a $3 device could eliminate most distracted driving
