From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This list of countries by traffic-related death rate shows the annual number of road fatalities per capita per year and per vehicle-km in some countries in the year the data was collected.
According to the World Health Organization, road traffic injuries caused an estimated 1.26 million deaths worldwide in the year 2000. The average rate was 20.8 per 100,000 people, 30.8 for males, 11.0 for females. 90% occurred in low and middle income countries, with South-East Asia and Africa having the highest rates.[1]
The number of vehicles in the fatalities per number of vehicles includes 2-wheelers and is mostly based on the WHO Global Status Report on Road Safety[2]. The total fatalities number also comes from the WHO report and is often an estimated number of road traffic deaths based on method used in the report.[2]
