of disability and death all over world. Low and middle income

countries. World Health Organization predicts that road traffic
injuries will raise to become the fifth leading cause of death by
2030, resulting in an estimated 2.4 million fatalities per year. In
dubious distinction for India, World Health Organization has
revealed in its first ever Global Status Report on Road Safety that
more people die in road accidents in India than anywhere else in
the world. At least 13 people die every hour in road traffic
accidents in the country. Road traffic accidents are preventable
events with complex phenomenon of multiple causation.The present
study is a humble effort to measure incidence of road traffic
accidents in relation to various medico-legal and epidemiological
factors which may be useful to draw public attention and awareness
towards road traffic accidents and to formulate road safety
measures towards strategic planning.
