Abstract

This paper describes the epidemiologic features of 1,532 fatal motor vehicle crashes, and analyses of some crash-related factors by means of stepwise regression analysis as well. The crashes between motor vehicle and bicycle accounted for 39.49 percent. The 36.84 percent of drivers responsible for accidents were at the age of 20-24. The analysis of accident victim characteristics indicated that all age groups were at risk. Most victims were the people younger than 25 years old as well as aged 50 and over. About one-third of the victims were peasants. The analysis of stepwise regression suggested that the crashes were positively related to the quantity of automobile and the ratio between male and female.
