“…The different categories of the costs used are: loss output; property damage; grief, pain, and suffering; hospital and medical; administration; and legal and miscellaneous (Olukoga, 2004b). Table I shows the provincial distribution of fatal crashes, fatalities, fatal crashes per 100,000 population, fatalities per 100,000 population, and the distance travelled by vehicles in million kilometers.…”

“…The costs of the different categories of roadtraffic crashes in South Africa were reported to be US$1,962, US$2,965, US$11,031, and US$48,561 for damage only, minor, major, and fatal road-traffic crashes, respectively, for 1998/99. This is an avoidable economic burden when compared with the GNP per capita of US$3,210 (1997) for the country (Olukoga, 2004b).…”

“…[16,17] City-level data with a family perspective are vital in understanding the true economic burden of traffic crashes and making appropriate investment in the area of injury prevention.

“…In fact, extant costing studies in South Africa have attempted to calculate the cost of a broad spectrum of general health problems and injury forms. These included national costing studies on medicines for treatment Kane-Berman & Taylor, 1990;McIntyre & Dorrington, 1990); motor vehicle collisions (CSIR, 2000;Olukoga, 2004); and injuries resulting from crime (CSVR, 2000;NEDCOR Project, 1996). Such relatively representative studies were complemented by a provincially restricted costing study of post-mortem procedures in the province of Gauteng (Gauteng Department of Health, 1999) and a city-wide injury study focussed on establishing the cost of homicides for the Cape Town Metropole (Phillips, 1998).…”
