How many in a million die from car accidents?
I read on a web page about anaesthesia, that for every one million times general anaesthesia is performed two deaths occur. It said that a person is more likely to die from a car accident on the way there than from the actual anaesthesia. I am just wondering how true this is. Does anyone know how many people in a million die from car accidents?
As I recall, circa 1990, in the U.S., there were approximately 40,000 deaths from car accidents per year and a total population of approximately 250 million. If this is correct, that means approximately 160 deaths from car accidents per year per million inhabitants, or slightly less than 1/2 death from car accidents per day per million inhabitants.
all of them. every single frikin one!!!!! jeez wno cares. but if thats what floats ur boat. try google. car accident death statistics

Crashes are categorized by what is struck and the direction of impact, or impacts. These are some common crash types, based on the total number that occurred in the U.S.A. in 2005, the percentage of total crashes, and the percentage of fatal crashes: [37]
Rear impacts (1,824,000 crashes, 29.6% of all US crashes, 5.4 % of US fatal crashes)
Angle or side impacts (1,779,000 crashes, 28.9% of all US crashes, 20.7% of US fatal crashes)
Fixed-object crashes (992,000 crashes, 16.1% of US crashes, 31.7% of US fatal crashes)
Collisions with animals (275,000 crashes, 4.5% of US crashes, 0.4% of fatal crashes)
Rollovers (141,000 crashes, 2.3% of all US crashes, 10.9% of US fatal crashes)
Head-on collision (123,000 crashes, only 2.0% of all US crashes, but 10.1% of US fatal crashes)
Collisions with pedestrians and bicyclists (114,000 crashes, only 1.8% of US crashes, but 13.5% of US fatal crashes)
About 1.2 million, says the World Health Organisation.
The number injured or disabled is about 50 million per annum. The figures are rising fast, as more people aspire to own cars and car use rapidly increases in the developing world, especially China.
The WHO reckons that the number of annual deaths in road traffic accidents will increase to 2.3 million by 2020 – that’s nearly double the current death total.
Some example stats for specific countries, approximate annual deaths from road traffic accidents.
UK: 3300 (about 9 every day, 5.81 per 100,000 people).
USA: 42,700 (about 13 per 100,000 people).
Russia: more than 34,000 — almost 25 per 100,000 people; almost the worst record for any OECD country.
