Why This Indicator Matters
As children age, they encounter new environments and challenges that pose new risks to their safety. Teenagers are significantly more likely to die from injuries sustained in motor vehicle accidents and firearms than children of younger ages.
The rate of fatal crashes at night for drivers aged 16–19 is approximately three times greater per mile driven compared to adult drivers.
