Road accidents are regarded as a serious economic and health problem on a global level due to the alarming numbers of deaths and injuries with permanent sequelae associated with them. In fact, around 3,400 people die every day as a result of a road accident. According to the most recent data from the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), 100,000 people die every year from road accidents in Latin America, making this a particularly serious issue in the region.
