Motor Vehicle Occupant Deaths in Young Children
Keyword(s):
Motor vehicle occupant deaths of US children aged 0 to 12 years were analyzed. Surprisingly, the death rate is highest for children less than 6 months old: 9.0/100,000, dropping to 4.5/100,000 for 1-year-olds and about 3/100,000 for children aged 6 to 12. The second and third months of age are a period of especially high risk. More attention should therefore be focused on protecting infants from injury and death resulting from motor vehicle crashes.
