Over the same period, such deaths declined in most other developed nations, according to United Nations data.

Well according to the numbers its clear that instead of dying overseas they are coming to the US to get run over /s

It's insane how terrible our oversized suvs and trucks have gotten. There is a 12 foot blind spot in front of many of them now where you can't see someone sitting down or a small child.

Absolutely insanity.
