Hospital data of all patients seen as a result of road traffic accident injuries are presented for the year 1977. A follow-up study was carried out in Dec. 1978 of those patients admitted with fractures of the skull and spine. The road traffic accident rate was 810/100,000 and the death rate was 25/100,000. All the deaths in hospital were due to skull fractures. A third of those with cervical spine fractures were discharged with serious permanent disabilities. The problems of planning health services for this most unusual population are discussed.
