One estimate is that up to a third (33%) of the annual fatalities among teens is related to traffic accidents. The actual rate among "older teens" (15-19) is as high as 40%, because they are drivers as well as passengers.
I think more people die in car wrecks.
80-200 maybe...
3-5%
According to UN statistics, 260000 "children" - those aged 10 to 19 - die each year worldwide from being involved in a car crash. This makes it the leading cause of death for that age group.
Too many!
Accidents cause the most deaths annually in the United States. Car, boating, gun, fire, and even freak accidents cause tens of thousands of deaths each year. The most common type of accident, particularly among teens, is car accidents. The chances of a sixteen-year-old driver being in a fatal car accident are five times greater than those of a twenty-year-old driver. Each year, there are 1.6 million car crashes involving teens. Every year, more American teenagers die in car wrecks than any other way. Nationally, that number was 5,610 fatalities in 2004. Statistics from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety show that alcohol is a factor in only 15 percent of the 16- and 17-year-old drivers killed in 2004 car wrecks in the U.S.
