From the World Health Organization:
Key Facts
About 1.24 million people die each year as a
result of road traffic crashes.
Road traffic injuries are the leading cause of death, people aged 1529 years.
91% of the world's fatalities on the roads occur in low-income and
middle-income countries, these countries have only half of the world's vehicles.
Half of those dying on the worlds roads are vulnerable road users:
pedestrians, cyclists and motorcyclists.
WHO predicts by 2020 road accident s will be the 3rdgreatest cause of death
will rise from 1.2 to 2 million people annually
A Worldwide Challenge.
