Which Vehicles Keep Their Occupants Alive?
Rates show deaths per 100,000 registered vehicles in 2024 for each vehicle type, so vehicle types with very different numbers on the road can be compared fairly. Passenger car, SUV, pickup, and van deaths include drivers and passengers, and motorcycle deaths include riders and passengers. Rates do not account for miles driven, driver age, or driving behavior, all of which can also affect crash outcomes.
