The United Nations (UN) will hold the first ever global high-level meeting on Global Road Safety at the UN Headquarters in New York, NY, USA on June 30-July 1 this year. Why? Sadly road crashes are the largest killer of young people worldwide. An estimated 1.3 million people are killed each year on the world's roads and an additional 50 million people suffer life-altering injuries. The injuries include severe brain injury, quadriplegia, limb fractures, amputations, and degloving that add an estimated $6 billion USD of new lifetime costs to families, as well as to the health, welfare, and insurance sectors every day. |
