how many people die each year in the us
Thatâs how many people die on Americaâs roads daily, says the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. âMotor vehicle crashes in the United States result in more than 40,000 deaths per year,â says the Institute in the journal Injury Prevention. âThat is, on each of the 6,209 consecutive days included in this study, an equivalent of a plane load or more of people died on the roads.â. But not all days are alike.
