Motor vehicle collisions are the second major cause of injury death for those aged 30 to 70 years. Suicide is the major cause of injury death for those aged 30 to 69 years and those aged 80 and older. Suicide is the second major cause of injury death for those aged 10 to 29 and those aged 70 to 79. Falls is the second major cause of injury deaths for those aged 80 years and older.
