Motor vehicle crashes (MVCs) are the leading cause of death for people ages 3 to 33 in the United States, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). In 2020, over 9,300 people in this age group were killed in MVCs.
MVCs are a major public health problem, and they have a devastating impact on families and communities. The financial costs of MVCs are also significant, estimated to be in the billions of dollars each year.
