DRIVERS in Lincolnshire are more likely to die on rural routes as help takes longer to arrive, a report has revealed.
In 2011 47 people died on the roads - the highest in number across UK counties and representing 0.64 people in every 10,000.
New figures released by the government show that although more accidents take place in cities, motorists are more likely to die in a collision if it takes place on rural roads.
The high rate of deaths is partly because routes are more isolated and help takes longer to arrive.
