Around 1.35 million people die each year as a result of trauma, which includes road traffic injuries, falls, violence, and other incidents. Trauma is a leading cause of death globally, particularly among younger individuals. Early intervention and proper care can help reduce the mortality rate associated with trauma.
Texas annually has more tornadoes than any other state, followed by Oklahoma. However, the statistics are misleading, since Texas is much larger than its neighboring states.
