TRUTH !!More Americans now die from drug overdoses than in car accidents, according to a government report released in January, 2012.
In 2008, poisoning deaths became the number one cause of accidental deaths in the United States and the leading cause of injury or death in 30 states, according to the report from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Ninety percent of these poisonings were linked to drugs, with a surge in deaths from prescription painkiller overdoses reported.
The authors of the report found a 90 percent increase in poisoning deaths since 1999, while deaths from car accidents have dropped 15 percent in the same period.
