The incidence of accidental deaths is showing an increasing trend day by day in the twin cities of Hyderabad and Secunderabad. 218 death deaths in road mishaps have been recorded within 3 months beginning from New Year 2014. Half of the victims are youth between the age of 17-27 years.
Doctors and police attribute the fatal accidents to over speed. Sometimes 6-8 accidents were reported during a single day. Some accidents also claimed the life of more than one family member. Another reason behind the rising road accidents is said to be poor infrastructure and battered roads. The number of students studying in professional colleges was more in the accidents occurred in the outskirts. Some parents whose children met with an accident told that they would suggest youth to use college bus for conveyance instead of bikes.
Police sources said that youth show impatience while driving which becomes the cause of accident. Over speed is also the main reason behind fatal accidents. One should know that ‘prevention is better than cure’.
