Abstract

A statistical evaluation of 2,327 persons killed during or as a result of road accidents and post-mortem examined in the years 1964-1974 brought to light the fact that the actual number of those deceased was considerably higher than that quoted by official statistics. In this particular group there were 81 cases of people whose lives might have been saved provided they had been given immediate medical and technical aid. An examination of the social consequences of the above cases made it clear that approximately every 100 cases of adults killed in their productive age (16-60 years) were associated with 77 unilaterally orphaned children, or else that for every 100 persons killed that particular period of life there were about 5 completely orphaned children .--Any effort at eliminating the all too ofter unnecessary deaths of persons involved in road accidents then makes it absolutely imperative to establish an appropriate system enabling toe recruitment of immediate medical and technical aid.
