Abstract: An accident is a specific, unexpected, unusual and unintended external action which occurs in a particular time and place, with no apparent and deliberate cause but with marked effects. Carelessness of the driver is the major factor of such accidents. The traffic authorities give a lot of instructions to the vehicle operators. But many of them do not obey the rules. Nowadays most of the countries are forcing the motor riders to wear the helmet and not to use the vehicles when the person is in drunken condition. But still the rules are being violated by the users. India has the largest number of road accidents in the world out of which 22.4% of victims are occupants of two wheelers, 30% of road accidents victims die at crash site, 14% in ambulance and rest in hospital. Our proposal is to reduce the number of deaths which occur at crash site and on the way to the hospital due to delay in Emergency Trauma Care Services.
