traffic accidents and their statistics

accidents like the two described are part of a major problem that affects traffic safety. Every year, thousands of people lose their lives in traffic accidents in the EU or are seriously injured. According to statistics in the EU, the number of road traffic fats fell by 36 percent between 2010 and 2020. In 2019 there were 22,800 traffic fatalities, in 2020 there were 4,000 less. Preliminary figures indicate that in 18 EU member states the number of fatalities is at a record low. These trends underline the need for increased security measures. In Sweden, for example, the safest roads are recorded with only 18 traffic fatalities per 1 million inhabitants, while Romania reported the highest rate with 85 racing dead per 1 million inhabitants in 2020. The EU average was 42 traffic dead. These figures and findings come from Europarl .

The conditions are alarming, especially when you consider that 76 percent of the racing dead are men and the proportion of children under the age of 15 is 2 percent. The debate about traffic safety remains pressing, and the search for solutions to reduce accidents and to prevent damage, as in the incidents mentioned, seems essential.
