Drugs Related Deaths More Common Than Car Crashes

Drug related deaths have been  more common then car crashes since 2009, Killing as many as 37,485 people all around the world. That information had come from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Some major deaths are being prevented but the death toll from drugs have increased in the last  decades.  To make things worse every 14 minutes a person dies from drugs. But the death toll in auto mobiles have decreased over the years because of more companies are investing in car safety. This is the first time that drugs have been counted for more deaths then car crashes since 1979 when the government started to take track the number of drug deaths. The main drugs commonly used in a drug related death are pain and anxiety. These drugs are highly potent when mixed with other major medicines such as xyContin, Vicodin, Xanax and Soma. Drugs that are prescribed are mostly used in a case of death involving drugs. The government is trying to put a stop to this.
