The latest statistics, sourced from police records in different states, were presented in the Lok Sabha by Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari. Jammu and Kashmir in India recorded more than 5,000 road accidents, highlighting the persistent issue of traffic-related incidents causing loss of life, injuries, and property damage. The leading cause of casualties in road accidents that year was attributed to vehicles exceeding speed limits. It’s noteworthy that in the global context, India ranked first among 200 countries in World Road Statistics for the highest number of road accident fatalities during that year.
Notably, Uttar Pradesh and Maharashtra, being much larger states, have higher accident numbers compared to the three southern states in the top five. It’s interesting to observe that despite the high accident rate in Kerala, the number of fatalities is significantly lower, possibly attributed to better accessibility to medical facilities for trauma cases in the state.
The minister’s statement explains that road accidents result from various causes, including speeding, mobile phone use, drunk driving, wrong-way driving, disregarding traffic signals, not using safety gear like helmets and seat belts, vehicle conditions, weather, road conditions, and errors by drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians.
