This is an epidemiological survey of the fatalities from road traffic accidents in Sichuan. All fatal accidents that occurred in Sichuan from January 1994 to December 1994 were analysed. The mortalities per million kilometers of vehicle travel, per 100,000 registered motor vehicles and per 100,000 resident population were 4.35, 42.41 and 3.92 respectively. These figures were compared with international death rates and those reported by other countries. The results showed that Sichuan had higher mortalities per million kilometers of vehicle travel and per 100,000 registered vehicles but lower mortality per 100,000 resident population, compared with some industrialized and rich develeping countries. The majority of the victims were males aged 21 to 40. Road traffic fatalities constituted the leading cause of all accident deaths. The cost of road accidents in Sichuan was estimated to be sixty million Yuan. Further strategies and methods to minimize the rate of such accidents have been suggested.
