Two-Wheeler Riders Account for Nearly Half of Road Fatalities in Andhra Pradesh

Imagine roads in Andhra Pradesh.

Sadly, almost half of the people who die in car crashes there are riding on two-wheelers, like motorcycles or scooters.

This makes them the most at risk.

Many of these accidents happen on big highways, even though these highways are not that long compared to other roads.

The report also found that the roads are not as safe as they should be.

There aren't enough signs or speed bumps where roads meet, and the guardrails that protect cars from going off the road are also not strong enough.

Many people who die on the roads are young or middle-aged adults.

Even though many people walk or take buses, the number of car crashes causing death and injury is a big problem for the state's health.
