AUTO CRASHES ARE THE LEADING CAUSE OF DEATH FOR TEENS AGES 15 TO 20!

Teen Motor Vehicle Fatalities. How Big is The Problem? 

In 2019, almost 2,400 teens in the United States aged 13–19 were killed, and about 258,000 were treated in emergency departments for injuries suffered in motor vehicle crashes. That means that every day, about seven teens aged 13–19 died due to motor vehicle crashes, and hundreds more were injured. In addition, motor vehicle crash deaths among teens 15–19 years of age resulted in about $4.8 billion in medical and work loss costs for crashes that occurred in 2018.
