August 31, 2025
|The Morning Standard
A new report from the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) paints a troubling picture of road safety in India.
The number of road accidents in 2023 increased by 4.2%, with over 4.8 lakh incidents resulting in 1.72 lakh fatalities. Worryingly, 41% of the victims were not wearing safety devices—helmets for two-wheeler riders and seat belts for car occupants.
Among the fatalities, 54,568 were two-wheeler riders who were not wearing helmets, while 16,025 car passengers were not buckled up. On average, 20 people lost their lives every hour due to road accidents in the country.
