Among all types of accidents, morbidity and mortality is most common road traffic accidents (RTA) of two-wheelers riders. Road traffic accidents constitute complex phenomena of multiple causation. The etiological factors may be classified into two broad categories - human and environmental. Present autopsy study was conducted in the Department of Forensic Medicine, PGIMS, Rohtak, Haryana, India on 100 riders/pillion riders of two wheelers, who died in road traffic accidents. The study was conducted to know the correlation between death of riders/pillion riders of two wheeler in accidents and various factors like vehicle involved, occupation of victims, time period of accidents, duration of survival of victims after accidents, time taken to reach the hospital etc.
