Abstract

A study of fatal traffic accidents in Medellin, Colombia shows us that the highest risk population is composed of pedestrians, while passengers and
drivers are relatively lower-risk categories.

One-half of the victims die of cranioencephalic traumas.

We analyzed some peculiarities of traffic accidents in our city, which in this respect is probably similar to other cities in developing countries.
