Silent Dangers: The Growing Vulnerability of Older Adults in Fatal Road Traffic Accidents
Our findings illustrate the need to focus on road fatalities among older adults, as these tragic events affect this vulnerable group. Unfortunately, less attention has been given to the severity and significance of these incidents. Preventive campaigns focusing on road user education, safe driving, safe walking and the implementation of facile public transport or improved pedestrian crossings should be the key points.
