Worldwide, it was estimated that 1.25 million people were killed and many millions more were injured in motor vehicle collisions in 2013. [2] This makes motor vehicle collisions the leading cause of death among young adults of 15–29 years of age (360,000 die a year) and the ninth most frequent cause of death for all ages worldwide. [3]
From 1979 to 2005, the number of deaths per year decreased 15% while the number of deaths per capita decreased by 35%. The 32,479 traffic fatalities in 2011 were the lowest in 62 years, since 1949. [5] For 2016, the NHTSA reported 37,461 people killed in 34,436 fatal motor vehicle crashes, an average of 102 per day. [6]
Crude mortality rate refers to the number of deaths over a given period divided by the person-years lived by the population over that period.

Deaths are currently defined by those who die within 30 days of the date of the accident, but 1980 and before are one-day accident deaths. Fatalities reached a record high in 1970. The Index base year is 1989. (Index=100) Per population, fatalities are 1/4 in 2008 of that of 1970, and per kilometer, one-sixth in 2007 of the 1970 rate.

An AI death calculator can now tell you when you’ll die — and it’s eerily accurate. The tool, called Life2vec, can predict life expectancy based on its study of data from 6 million Danish ...
