- modoc 11y agoBased on that there were 130,557 deaths from unintentional injury in the USA in 2013. In that same year there were 32,719 fatalities resulting from auto accident. So 25% of the unintentional injury fatalities were car crashes. Which puts the car crash risk lower than most of the other major causes, and lower than either suicide or homicide for every age group I believe.
