In recent years, automobiles have been associated with nearly 29,000 traffic fatalities annually in the United States, including the deaths of both automobile occupants and others involved in collisions with automobiles. The Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation asked GAO to study the independent effects of important crash-related factors on the likelihood of injury once an automobile crash has occurred.
