Findings published in The Lancet Public Health journal show that road injuries were the leading cause of death among young people ages 10-39 globally and the second-leading cause among children ages 5-9. Overall, road injuries ranked as the 11th cause of death around the world.
Researchers including those from the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation at the US' University of Washington found that mortality rates are nearly six times higher in low-income countries than in high-income countries, with more than 90 per cent of deaths occurring in low- and middle-income countries.
"Road injury outcomes are shaped not only by crashes, but by the systems designed to prevent them and protect people when they occur," senior author Liane Ong, senior research scientist at the Institute f

The Delhi High Court on Sunday refused to interfere with activist Sonam Wangchuk's treatment at Safdarjung Hospital here.
Justice Mini Pushkarna said no interim order was required at this stage on a petition by Wangchuk's wife, Gitanjali J Angmo, seeking permission to shift him to a private facility. The petition will be heard next on July 24.
In a special hearing held on Sunday, Justice Pushkarna said Safdarjung doctors were closely monitoring the fasting activist, and it could not be said that any force was being used against him in violation of his bodily integrity.
The judge also said the government's removal of Wangchuk from Jantar Mantar to Safdarjung Hospital cannot be called arbitrary.
Justice Pushkarna further observed that Wangchuk's wife, his brother, and his brother-in-law have been given round-the-clock access to him.
She issued notice to the Centre, Safdarjung Hospital, and the city police on Angmo's plea seeking his transfer to a private facility.

TRAI has objections to Truecaller displaying a 'frequently blocked' badge within the dedicated number series, with a senior regulatory official saying that such tagging is "not advisable" as it tends to misguide and confuse telecom consumers, creating unwarranted suspicion about calls from 1600 and 140 categories that otherwise fall under the regulated framework.
Instead, the regulator believes that Truecaller should display a label informing users that they can "exercise their choice" to block unwanted communication from the 140 series through TRAI's official Do Not Disturb (DND) preference management app.
According to the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) official, the solution lies in creating further awareness and outreach around the DND, to educate people about the choices they have.
TRAI has mandated the use of 1600 series numbers for service and transaction calls by regulated banking, financial services and insurance or BFSI entities, and government-to-citizen ...
