The player is encouraged to kill a number of mutated, often violent animals ranging from dogs to bears to deer. Dead mutants resembling dolphins are seen occasionally and dead brahmin (cows) are a common indication of danger.

Not sure if directly, but Travis Miles' quest is about him gaining more confidence. One of his friends tells the player they want to help Travis "man up".

While not necessarily a car crash, there are many abandoned cars in the game which can explode violently if damaged.

Technically...
While you do not see a plane crash ingame, there are a number of ruin locations with potentially traumatic debris from plane crashes.

In addition to the comment about the player drowning, there are a few unlisted quests that lead to underwater skeletons implied or stated to have died by drowning.

The game is basically a first-person shooter, there's going to be an abundance of guns.
