According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of unintentional injury and death for American Indians ages 1 to 44. Adult motor vehicle-related death rates for American Indians are more than twice that of other races. You may be asking yourself why this occurs, but studies show that American Indians residing on reservations have a low seat belt and child restraint use rate.
