Abstract
Globally, approximately 1.35 million people die each year due to road traffic injuries (RTIs), with millions more suffering from serious injuries and living with long-term adverse health consequences. RTIs are the leading cause of preventable death, yet they continue to be the number one cause of death among those aged between 5 and 29 years of age. Even more, motor vehicles crashes are the number one killer of healthy United States citizens in foreign countries.
