The page for this graph links to the source of the data, which is at: https://injuryfacts.nsc.org/all-injuries/deaths-by-demograph...

As I suspected, poisoning most likely includes drug overdose. They have this comment about the 2023 data:

> #1: Poisoning: 100,304 deaths

> Largely due to the opioid epidemic affecting millions of people in the United States

You can see more recent data than 2004 in their interactive charts. It is interesting to see that deaths from road accidents has much reduced for teenagers and young adults, compared to the rest of the population.
