Motor vehicle accidents are responsible for the deaths of more than 32,000 Americans every year, equal to about 90 people every day. In fact, the U.S. government reports that our crash death rate is more than twice as high as the average of other high-income countries. The odds of being injured in a car crash will depend on your age, where you live, how many miles you travel by motor vehicle, the type of vehicle in which you travel, and other factors.
Two million people in our country are injured in car collisions every year. Esurance, an American insurance company, says that your chances of getting into a car accident are one in 366 for every 1,000 miles driven, but not everyone in a crash gets hurt.
Lower death rates in other high-income countries and a high percentage of risk factors in the US suggest that we can make more progress in reducing crash deaths.
