Age-Adjusted Death Rates per 100,000 Persons by Race, and Hispanic Origin for Motor Vehicle-Related Injuries: U.S., 2002

Motor vehicle crashes and pedestrian-related injury were the leading causes of unintentional injury-related death among American Indians/Alaska Natives (AI/AN) adults 20 years and older in 2003. Adult motor vehicle-related death rates for AI/ANs were almost twice that of whites and blacks. (16) 

Compared to their female counterparts, AI/AN males ages 20 years and older are twice as likely to die from a motor vehicle crash (crude rates: males: 48.7 per 100,000; females: 22.1 per 100,000) (17). Among Native Americans 19 years and younger, motor vehicle crashes were the leading cause of injury-related death, followed by suicide, homicide, drowning, and fires.  (16)

Adult pedestrian crude death rates (ages 20+, age-adjusted) for AI/ANs (6.7 per 100,000) were more than three times that of non-Hispanic whites (2.1 per 100,000) and almost twice that of blacks (3.6 per 100,000).  (17)
