The road death category is wrong. What is being reported is "accidents", of which CDC says there were 161,374 out of 2,744,248 deaths in 2016. But even this only gets you 5.88%, under their 7.68% reported in the interactive graph when hovering over 2016. From [0] Total Deaths 2016: 2,744,248 Unintended Injuries 2016: 161,374 From [1], a breakdown of those unintended 161,374 injuries above: Accidental Poisoning and exposure to noxious substances: 58,335 Motor Vehicle: 40,327 Fall: 34,673 Accidental hanging, strangulation, and suffocation: 6,610 Accidental drowning and submersion: 3,786 Accidental exposure to smoke, fire and flames: 2,730 Dividing the 40,327 motor vehicle from the 2,744,248 deaths gets you 1.47%, way less than the 7.68 shown in the interactive chart.
