Intracranial haemorrhage was reported in 140 (66.6%) study participants as the leading cause of death followed by hemorrhagic shock other than head and neck injury reported in 42 (19.9%) cases. A short revival period of fewer than 24 hours was noticed in intra-cranial haemorrhage (81 out of 140) followed by hemorrhagic shock other than head and neck injury (39 cases). Skull fractures are higher in 2-wheelers compared to other types of vehicles and pedestrians. (103 out of 140). The majority of fatal accidents occurred in two-wheelers.
