The three most vulnerable population groups for serious injuries or death in a motor vehicle accident, according to the CDC are:
- Child passengers — More than two thirds of the child fatalities involved being a passenger in a car driven by someone who had been drinking.
- Teen drivers — Young drivers aged 16-19 are four times more likely to be involved in a crash compared to adult drivers.
- Older adult drivers — The leading cause of accidental death among those age 55-64 is a motor vehicle accident.
According to the Centers for Disease Control, accidental death due to a car accident or other motor vehicle accident, is the leading cause of death by injury.
