By Andrew M. Seaman NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - The number of people who died in motor vehicle accidents in England and Wales over a 50-year period fell despite car ownership increasing during that time, according to a new study. While safety and medical advances may be responsible for the overall drop in deaths, the researchers found that social class and sex still factor into who dies as a result of car accidents. "There is a consistently lower age of death for manual workers and men, compared to non-manual workers and females," Dr. Andrew Fogarty, the study's lead author, said. For the new study, he and Dr. Clarence Liu, used data on all registered deaths from motor vehicle collisions in England and Wales between 1960 and 2009. via Health News Headlines - Yahoo!
