How many people die in traffic accidents on average in the world

Globally, 1.3 million people die in traffic accidents every year.

Geneva, May 9 (Xinhua) -- The World Health Organization (WHO) recently released a "fact sheet" on road safety, listing 10 current conditions on global road safety one by one, pointing out that road traffic safety is a global problem, especially in low- and middle-income countries, and that if necessary measures are taken, the level of global road safety will be greatly improved. This is WHO's first extensive assessment of the road safety situation in more than 170 countries around the world.

Globally, about 1.3 million people die in road traffic accidents each year, and between 20 million and 50 million suffer non-fatal injuries, according to WHO.

The fact file reveals that more than 90% of road fatalities occur in low- and middle-income countries, but these countries own only 48% of the world's registered vehicles; About 46 per cent of global road traffic deaths are among relatively vulnerable road users, including pedestrians, cyclists and motorcyclers and riders.

WHO also highlighted the dangers of drunk driving, reiterating the World Health Organization's recommendation that adult motorists limit their blood alcohol concentration to less than 50 milligrams per 100 millilitres, noting that less than one in two countries worldwide has a drunk driving law in line with WHO recommendations.

The World Health Organization announced over the weekend that it will begin its first World Decade of Road Safety on May 11, with the goal of saving 5 million lives and preventing 50 million from serious injuries.

The number of deaths in a car accident is 10,000 a year。Among them, in 2019, tens of thousands of traffic accidents occurred in China, with 62,763 traffic accident deaths and 10,000 injuries. In 2018, there were tens of thousands of traffic accidents, with 63,194 traffic accident deaths and 10,000 injuries.

In 2017, there were tens of thousands of traffic accidents in China, with 63,772 traffic accident deaths and 10,000 injuries.

The number of car accident fatalities worldwideAccording to data provided by the World Health Organization, about 1.25 million people die from road traffic accidents worldwide every year, which is equivalent to 3,500 deaths from traffic accidents every day worldwide. Statistics show that tens of millions of people are injured or disabled every year. Among them, traffic accidents are the leading cause of death among young people aged 15-29 years.

Statistics show that tens of millions of people are injured or disabled every year. Among them, traffic accidents are the leading cause of death for front-rushing or young people aged 15-29 years.

According to the World Health Organization, a major risk of road traffic fatalities and injuries is excessive speed. Vehicles traveling at speeds below 50 km/h have less than a 20% risk of fatalities to adult pedestrians, but after driving at speeds of 80 km/h, the risk of fatalities from vehicles hitting pedestrians is almost 60%. If the average speed of vehicles is reduced by 5%, fatal traffic accidents will be reduced by 30%.

The number of deaths in car accidents is about 100,000 per year. Mortality is decreasing. However, due to the increase in vehicles, the number of accidents and the number of accidents have increased significantly.

In 2006, a total of 3,155 people died in various natural disasters across the country. Major natural disasters include typhoons, floods, landslides, mudslides, hailstorms, etc. In 2007, a total of 2,325 people died in various natural disasters across the country, and the main causes of death were washed away by floods, lightning strikes, landslides, mudslides, and building collapses.

Prevention of traffic accidents

1. As pedestrians and non-motorized vehicle drivers, they should strictly abide by traffic rules and take crosswalks and non-motorized lanes. When driving on mixed roads, pedestrians should not play or play on both sides of the road. Incapacitated persons with disabilities should be accompanied by family members when traveling.

2. As a driver, you should pay attention to avoid driving fast. "Nine times out of ten accidents are fast", especially when driving on the highway, the driver does not have enough time to perceive the changes in the outside world, and once he encounters an emergency, he has no time to take countermeasures. Don't drink and drive.

Drinking alcohol has a certain impact on people's brain reactions, judgment, and concentration, and is easy to cause accidents.

Do not drive tiredly. Fatigue makes people unconscious, unresponsive, prone to errors in judgment, and causes accidents.

According to a report released by the World Health Organization (WHO) in December and April, 1.2 million people die in traffic accidents worldwide every year, with an average of one person dying every 25 seconds.

In 1999, there were about 1 million deaths due to road accidents worldwide, an average of 100 deaths per hour. Globally, more than 1.2 million people die in road traffic accidents every year, and millions more are injured or disabled.

In 2004, there were 517889 road traffic accidents across the country, resulting in 107077 deaths, 480864 injuries, and direct property losses of 100 million yuan. In 2004, there were an average of traffic accidents per day, with about one person killed and one person injured.

In 2007, there were 327209 road traffic accidents across the country, resulting in 81,649 deaths, 380442 injuries and direct property losses of 1.2 billion yuan.

Another source said, "China has the world's automobiles, but it accounts for 15% of the world's traffic fatalities."

In China, an average of 1 person dies per minute in traffic accidents (2016).

The World Health Organization announced that the number of traffic accident deaths in China in 2013 was 260,000 (four times as much as the number announced by our traffic management department), and the number of cars in China in 2013 was 100 million, and in 2016 it was 100 million. The data published by the statistical bureaus are too different).

In China, more than 100,000 people die in traffic accidents every year. By the end of 2002, the number of motor vehicles in China was 71.78 million (including 21.41 million cars and 50.37 million motorcycles). In 2002, there were 10,000 road traffic accidents in China, 109381 people died, 10,000 people were disabled, and the average number of deaths per 10,000 motor vehicles (of which motorcycles accounted for 70% of the total number of motor vehicles in China) was human, and the direct economic loss amounted to 100 million yuan.

In our country, an average of 1 person dies in a car accident every minute, and 1 person is disabled in a car accident every minute. In other words, an average of people die in road traffic accidents in our country every day, which is equivalent to crashing 1 Boeing 777-200 aircraft full of passengers every day.
