Is motor vehicle accidents 1 cause of death in people 15 30?
In reality, suicide is the number one cause of death for
individuals from 15 to 30 if you include firearms, medications,
falls, and motor vehicle crashes. The number one weapon for the
suicide is the motor vehicle and that skews the statistics since
the suicides are often listed as motor vehicle accidents when in
reality they were intentional and not accidental.
Accidental deaths, including motor vehicle crashes are a leading
cause of death for 15 to 30 year olds and that is primarily due to
the reason they do not usually die of other causes, such as heart
disease, strokes, etc.
