Injury Data
Traffic fatalities only show the tip of the iceberg. The number of road deaths is not a sufficient indicator for road safety. The global total of 1.35 million annual road deaths must be seen in the context of an estimated 20 to 50 million serious injuries sustained in crashes around the world every year, according to the 2018 WHO Global Status Report on Road Safety. The wide margin of the estimate suggests the importance of increased investment in the collection and analysis of data on serious road injury.
