Abstract
This publication provides comparable data on causes, types and results of accidents in Europe, Canada and the United States in 2003. Data are organised by nature of accident and surroundings; accidents while under the influence of alcohol; and the number of persons killed or injured, by category or road user and age group. As background data, figures on the number of road vehicles in use and vehicle-kilometers run by road vehicles are also provided along with estimates of population and distribution by age group. This annual publication contains important statistical information for those involved in transportation planning and road safety issues. This is a trilingual publication in English, French and Russian. (Author/publisher)
