It's hardly a surprise but we now have a proof that two-wheelers account for maximum deaths in road accidents in Mumbai. A statistics with the Mumbai police has put motorcycles in No 1 spot in maximum fatal incidents in Mumbai in the last four years, followed by cars which are not far behind. fatalities in hit and run cases are at number three. In hit-and-run accidents, the vehicles involved speed away from the spot, making it difficult to know the type of vehicle.

Apart from the three categories, lorry, dumpers, auto-rickshaws, tempos and public transport buses and private buses contributed to other fatal accidents in the city from 2015 to 2018 (till May) as per the statistics from Mumbai police under RTI. While fatal accidents in the city have reduced from 586 in 2015 to 529 in 2016, 467 in 2017 to 157 till May end in 2018.
