Most of the accidents happen at night
Most of those who died were in the age group of 30 to 39 years. The Delhi government has prepared this report to formulate a strategy to reduce road accidents in Delhi. It has been found that most of the serious accidents occur during off hours i.e. between 9 pm to 2 am and this is also said to be due to the lighting of the roads. It is believed that in the dead of night, motorists run away after hitting other vehicles. In such a situation, the injured do not receive timely treatment and die.
Marked with black spots
Such incidents are more frequent especially on weekends i.e. Saturdays and Sundays. Keeping this report in mind, the Delhi government has emphasized on special arrangements to deal with hit-and-run cases. According to the report, 59 percent of the deaths in road accidents are due to hit and run and most of the victims are pedestrians. The report suggests some measures to reduce such cases. These specifically include ways to identify and remove dark spots.
These are the causes of accidents
According to the report, the highest number of black spots in Delhi are in New Delhi and western districts. While such places are less in the North-Eastern district. The reasons for this, the report says, are sidewalks, shorter crossing distances for pedestrians on roads, higher crosswalks, more frequent public transport and major risk factors such as speeding, riding without a helmet, driving under the influence and not wearing a seat.
