Georgia Car Accident Fatalities by Age

Between 2005 and 2009, The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) compiled data related to Georgia car accident fatalities. One of their graphs lists the number of drivers involved in fatal crashes, and separates them by age. According to these statistics, the total number of drivers involved in fatal crashes in Georgia for the year 2009 was 1,741.

According to the same data: 

• 3 of these drivers were under 15 years of age;
• 145 of these drivers were between the ages of 15 and 20;
• 148 of these drivers were under the age of 21;
• 1,570 of these drivers were over the age of 21; and
• 23 of these driver's were of an unknown age. 

Therefore, everyone is susceptible to being injured or killed in a fatal Georgia car accident. In 2009, 150 pedestrians were also killed in traffic-related fatalities in Georgia.
