Road crashes are a perennial problem; they cause wide-ranging losses to society with significant numbers of people being injured or dying. They also cause substantial economic loss. Even though many countries have tried to reduce the burden of death, injury and other costs, road crashes worldwide are still responsible for the loss of more than 1.2 million lives, with many millions suffering injury and disability. Therefore, it is important to understand better the factors affecting severe and fatal crashes.
