Teen Crashes - Everyone is at Risk. People Fatally Injured in Motor Vehicle Crashes Involving 15- to 17-Year-Olds

Government statistics quantify the number of teen drivers and their passengers who have died in motor vehicle crashes. In the first analysis of its kind, this report investigates the number of other people who have died in crashes involving novice teen drivers. This report illustrates that nearly two of every three people killed in teen-driver crashes are people other than the teen driver. These fatalities include the teen driver’s passengers, drivers and passengers of other vehicles, pedestrians and bicyclists. This report provides a new perspective on the toll of crashes involving novice teenage drivers.
