- “Person injured in unspecified motor-vehicle accident, traffic” is the 50th leading cause of death at 0.4% of deaths.
- “Person injured in collision between other specified motor vehicles (traffic)” is the 108th leading cause of death at 0.2% of deaths.
Road traffic injuries are the leading cause of death for children and young adults aged 5–29 years.
More than half of all road traffic deaths are among vulnerable road users, including pedestrians, cyclists and motorcyclists.
