“Traffic accidents have become a serious problem for public safety,” said Wang Yong, a public health emergency consultant from the Ministry of Health.

“交通事故已经成为一个非常严重的公共安全问题，”卫生部突发公共卫生事件应急顾问王勇（音译）表示。

More than 68,000 road accidents, resulting in 794 deaths, more than 100 a day, occurred in China during the last National Day holiday, according to the Ministry of Public Security. The ministry also revealed that in 2011, 62,000 people died from road accidents.

据公安部统计，去年国庆假期，我国共发生6.8万多起交通事故，导致了764人丧生，每日发生交通事故达上百起。公安部还透露，2011年有6.2万人死于交通事故。

“Traffic accidents are becoming a development crisis,” World Health Organization (WHO) director general Margaret Chan told The Guardian last month.

“交通事故正在演变成为一场发展的危机，”世界卫生组织总干事陈冯富珍上月在接受《卫报》记者采访时表示。

据世界卫生组织统计，全世界交通事故死亡人数超过疟疾，成为了5-29岁年龄段青少年的主要死亡原因，特别是在发展中国家。
