Worldwide toll of road accidents:

1.2 million people worldwide are estimated to be killed each year on the roads – that’s around 3,000 deaths daily, 500 of them children.
50 million people worldwide are believed to be injured in road crashes each year, 15 million seriously.
Low- and middle-income countries account for more than 85 per cent of global deaths from road traffic crashes.
The global financial cost of road traffic injuries is 518 billion USD each year.
The cost to low- and middle-income countries is 65 billion USD, more than all development aid income.
For males aged 15-44, road traffic injuries rank second (behind HIV/AIDS) as the leading cause of premature death and ill health worldwide.
By 2020, unless action is taken, road traffic injuries are predicted to rise overall by about 80 per cent in low- and middle-income countries.
