Road accidents were primarily attributed into the driver’s errors and a victim -
sponsored accident such as a pedestrian who tries to cross the road without due
prudence. Some attributes the cause of accidents to those who had a drinking spree
before driving and/or pedestrians who were intoxicated themselves. Others blame the
road accidents due to damaged roads and unclear road signs that were either hidden or
optically competing with commercial billboards. A road accident that is fatal is one
which involves death at the scene. A serious injury and slight injury are those which will
require a recovery time period for the injured and property damage are those that
involve vehicles colliding with publicly or privately owned structures, equipment, and
facilities. Also, property damage of road accidents include vehicles with other vehicles
that do not result in physical injuries to drivers, passenger or pedestrians(ADB).
