Deaths from motor vehicle crashes include any deaths of motor vehicle occupants injured in transport accidents.Reducing motor vehicle crash deaths was one of the great public health achievements of the 20th century for the US. However, more than 32,000 people are killed and 2 million are injured each year from motor vehicle crashes nationally. Even when considering population size, miles traveled, and number of registered vehicles, the US consistently ranked poorly relative to other high-income countries for crash deaths. Some of the best performing countries have policies such as seat belt laws for everyone in every seat, lower allowable limits of blood alcohol levels and use of ignition interlocks for all people convicted of drunk driving.
