Road accidents on National Highways are multicausal. Ideally, the factors responsible should be established through an objective assessment of the circumstance under which the road accident occurred. Head on collision constituted 18.7% followed by hit from back with 16.7% in road accidents in the country, according to the extant data reporting system of the Road Accidents in India-2017 report released by Ministry of Road Transport and Highways, Government of India [1]. The National Highways in India which constitutes just about 2% of the total road network carries 40% of the traffic, accounts for 30.4% of total road accidents and 36.0% of the total number of persons killed during 2017 [1].
