Road crash is the leading cause of sudden death in Nigeria. It is usually too late to salvage and the result is usually devastating.

1. Human Factors:

-Poor vehicle care:
-Indiscriminate parking:
-Dangerous overtaking:

2. Mechanical Factors:
This is usually due to poor vehicle maintenance. We hardly do proactive maintenance. We simply push the judgement day forward..

-Poor steering mechanism.
-Tyre burst.
-Brake failure.
