• Over 4,000,000 people visit the emergency department every year due to an auto accident. That's approximately 1 out of every 60 people.

• 42,000 deaths are reported every year from motor vehicle accidents. Compare this to approximately 200 deaths per year from plane crashes.

• An auto accident will injure 1 in every 30 young drivers this year.

• Nearly 10% of automobile accident victims become disabled.

• 2 out of every 5 automobile deaths are alcohol related.

Approach intersections with caution, leave plenty of room between your car and the vehicle in front of you, use your mirrors, and slow your speed according to the road conditions. Additionally, ensure that your vehicle is mechanically sound and properly insured. And of course, never drink and drive.
