Currently, RTIs are the ninth leading cause of global deaths, and, unless addressed, are predicted to become the seventh leading cause of death by 2030. About 90% of the global burden of fatal RTI is borne by low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) despite only having half of the world's registered vehicles, with vulnerable road users accounting for majority of these victims. |
