Punjab, Pakistan, is witnessing a disturbing trend in road traffic fatalities, with a 19% rise in deaths in 2025, totaling 4,791 lives lost. This alarming increase highlights concerns over road safety in the region. According to data from Rescue 1122, the province recorded 482,870 road traffic accidents in 2025, resulting in nearly 570,000 injuries.
The statistics reveal that motorcycles are responsible for 75% of all accidents, followed by cars at 8.6% and rickshaws at 4.7%. Pedestrians account for 10.34% of road accident victims, underscoring the dangers faced by those walking along or near busy roads. The majority of injuries involve fractures and head injuries, with 80.6% of victims being men and 19.4% women.⁴
Interestingly, while road traffic accidents increased by 5.8% in 2025, the number of deaths rose disproportionately, indicating greater severity of crashes. Lahore tops the list with 88,743 accidents, followed by Faisalabad and Multan.⁵
In the context of Pakistan's economy, which is heavily reliant on trade and commerce, the impact of road traffic accidents is substantial. The loss of breadwinners and the economic burden of medical treatment and rehabilitation can have far-reaching consequences.
As the world explores digital currencies like cryptocurrency, it's essential to address the human cost of road accidents. Perhaps, innovative solutions like blockchain technology could be leveraged to improve road safety and emergency response systems.
