With  stress is in the air and so are car accidents.

In fact, CNNMoney reports that a study by the Journal of American Medicine Association reveals that there is an average of 6 percent more deadly car crashes on Tax Day, almost as much as during the Super Bowl and prom season.

Some possible explanations they say could be that taxpayers are racing to get their filings to the post office on time, or they're stressed and can be more prone to road rage. Other factors could be sleep depravation and maybe nipping at the bottle to help ease the pain of writing a big check to Uncle Sam.

Locally, the  will be open its regular hours 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. so be sure to get there on Tax Day April 17, but safely.

Be careful out there.
