Official records confirm that over 1.55 lakh people died in road accidents last year. This means an average of 426 people daily or around 18 people every hour. According to the official data, this is the highest death figure recorded in any calendar year. In addition to the deaths, around 4.03 lakh road accidents wounded 3.71 lakh people throughout the country in 2021.

According to a study by the National Transportation Safety Board (NCRB), traffic casualties hit a record high in 2018, while the absolute number of road accidents and injuries declined from the previous year.

In its annual report, NCRB stated that road accidents drove more injuries than deaths. However, such accidents in Mizoram, Punjab, Jharkhand and Uttar Pradesh caused more deaths compared to people injured. Uncontrollable Speed, reckless driving, dangerous stunts and overtaking contributed a major share to such road accidents. Watch the video.
