Preliminary figures show 43,220 people died in 2003 - the highest number since 1990 when 44,529 died in auto accidents up slightly from the 42,815 deaths in 2002, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said Wednesday. People drove more total miles last year, so the rate of deaths per miles traveled was about the same.
