According to a new report from the National Safety Council, for the first time since they began recording statistics about “accidental” deaths, Americans are more likely to die from an accidental drug overdose than from injuries sustained in an automobile accident.
CNN reports that the NSC, after examining data collected from state and federal agencies, determined that the risk of dying from an opioid overdose is now greater than the risk of dying from “falls, pedestrian incidents, drowning, and fire.”
