    Measuring in money.

    The agency’s new report, “The Economic and Societal Impact of Motor Vehicle Crashes, 2019,” examines the costs of one year of crashes that killed an estimated 36,500 people, injured 4.5 million, and damaged 23 million vehicles.

    36,000 deaths and 4.5 million injured doesn’t cause alarm. And that’s only the human numbers. Wildlife doesn’t count.

    Edit: not sure how this comment ended up in this post.
