If you drive on routes like this
- Slow down in unfamiliar conditions: every 1% of extra speed raises fatal-crash risk about 4%
- Never assume the other vehicle sees you at night or in rain — drive as if it doesn't
- On two-lane roads, treat every overtake as the highest-risk moment of the trip
- Wear the seatbelt in every seat; rear belts save lives in head-on impacts
- Two-wheeler passengers should hold on firmly and wear a helmet — most pillion deaths happen at low speed
- Know the local emergency number before you travel — our emergency numbers directory covers every country
What happens next
Police normally publish a confirmed account of the crash within 24 to 48 hours once witnesses have been interviewed and the postmortem is complete. A crash investigation follows: vehicle condition, speed, driver hours and road condition. Where a commercial vehicle is involved, the operator's licence and maintenance records are examined, and families of victims are usually entitled to compensation under the country's motor insurance or accident-compensation rules.
