Motor vehicle crashes kill as many people as breast cancer and twice as many people as murder, and injure more than 2 million people every year. I treat many patients for auto related injuries.
After decreasing for several decades from 50,000 to the low 30,000's per year, the auto death rate has increased significantly by 14% over the last two years back up to 40,000. Most authorities agree this is due to distracted driving.
