Every time you get behind the wheel, you put yourself in danger, and car accidents in the United States kill tens of thousands of people each year. In 2011, 889 people were killed in Michigan in 834 collisions. At the time of impact, nearly half of those killed in car accidents in the state were wearing seatbelts. In Michigan traffic accidents in 2019, 985 people were killed and nearly 75,000 were injured.
