Far more school children die from motor vehicle crashes than in school shootings

There were more than 32,000 crash deaths in the US in 2013. These deaths cost more than $380 million in direct medical costs.

Motor vehicle injuries are a leading cause of death among children in the United States.1 But many of these deaths can be prevented.

In the United States, 663 children ages 12 years and younger died as occupants in motor vehicle crashes during 2015,4 and more than 121,350 were injured in 2014.1
One CDC study found that, in one year, more than 618,000 children ages 0-12 rode in vehicles without the use of a child safety seat or booster seat or a seat belt at least some of the time.5
Of the children ages 12 years and younger who died in a crash in 2015 (for which restraint use was known), 35% were not buckled up.4
