Michigan loses more citizens to overdoses than to car accidents | Blogs | Detroit Metro Times:
"In 2014 more people in Michigan died from drug related overdoses than car accidents — and the state is not alone with this sobering stat.
Thirty five other states and Washington DC have seen drug overdoses surpass automobile-related deaths. 
In 2014, the last year the data was available, 1,745 Michiganders died from drug overdoses. 
That same year 876 people died from car crashes in the state."
