Abstract

Each year in the United States, motor-vehicle crashes result in approximately 40,000 deaths and 3.2 million nonfatal injuries. In 2000 during the Thanksgiving holiday, motor-vehicle crashes killed approximately 500 persons (US Department of Transportation, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, unpublished data, 2000), and resulted in >43,000 hospital emergency department visits.
