abstract="Car drivers (greater than or equal to 18 years; n = 514) in Northern Sweden who were fatally injured over a 13-year-period were investigated using autopsy and police reports. Fatalities per unit distance and per licenced driver were highest for the  greater than = 70-year-old and = 60-year-old drivers were more often at fault than the = 60-year-old drivers were more likely to die as a consequence of less severe injuries than the less than 60-year-old ones. The belted younger drivers had fewer fatal chest injuries and more head injuries than the non-belted ones. In older drivers, fatal head injuries were more common in side impacts than in frontal impacts. Older drivers got more post-traumatic complications than the younger ones.<p />",
