Pakistan has the highest rate of fatal traffic accidents

Asia's highest recorded number of fatalities in traffic accidents occurred in Pakistan. In terms of deaths from traffic accidents, the nation came in 48th place overall. Around 1.35 million people worldwide are killed in traffic accidents every year, while 20 to 50 million get non-fatal injuries.

During a road safety awareness walk and lecture on Thursday, Dr. Salman Zubair, an assistant professor in the geography department at the University of Karachi (KU), provided the audience with this information, according to the News.

The National Highway and Motorway Police (NHMP) South Zone worked in conjunction with the geography department to organize the seminar at the KU Arts Auditorium.

He said that more than Rs. 47.8 billion in annual financial losses were anticipated as a result of traffic accidents in Karachi alone. He said that this sum amounted to around 0.5% of Pakistan's GNP, 2.5% of its GDP, and 12.7% of Karachi's GDP.
