Background
Each
year, motor vehicle crashes claim the lives of more than 44,000 people
in the United States and are the leading cause of death among people
ages 1 to 34 years. To portray such crashes, print and television media
focus on wrecked cars or ambulances scurrying away injured victims--some
fatal. These images don't illustrate injury prevention behaviors. CDC's
Injury Center is now offering our partners royalty-free injury
prevention images that model proper injury prevention techniques. These
images will show children properly restrained in the back seat, drivers
and passengers wearing safety belts, pedestrians safely crossing the
street, and others. The photos are available on CD-ROM and for download;
charts of leading causes of death and injury are available for download. |
