Do traffic accidents constitute one of the leading causes of mortality among young people in Spain?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Yes, unfortunately that is true. According to the road safety reports of the DGT and the WHO, traffic accidents are one of the leading causes of death in the 15 to 29 age group, often ahead of diseases. The correct answer refers to both 'mortality' and 'injuries', since many accidents result in permanent disabilities (such as spinal cord injuries). The answers suggesting that they only cause injuries or that this only happens in other countries are wrong; it is a priority public health problem in Spain.
