Motor vehicle crashes cost the United States $340 billion a year, according to a study examining the cost of traffic crashes, injuries and fatalities.
Also, 36,500 people were killed, and 4.5 million people were injured in the USA in 2019.
This report makes the mistake of blaming individuals for not wearing seatbelts and speeding, when a shift in urban design is necessary to mitigate this disaster.
