Introduction: Road accidents constitute a major public health problem with regard to the costs generated by this phenomenon. Methodology: We conducted a cross-sectional descriptive study of Road traffic accidents in the city of Manono, an urban-rural area, with the aim of understanding this phenomenon in a highly suburbanized environment, characterized by artisanal exploitation of among others lithium, coltan with an increasing flow of urban population as well as the automobile car. Results: We found that most road accidents occurred on the day 51.0%, Sunday and Monday 19.2%. In 78.8%, drivers were ≥18 years old. Conclusion: It is important that an emphasis be placed on the rules of road safety because road accidents do not spare any environment, be it urban or rural.
