The WHO released the 2018 global status report on road safety on Friday and it shows the number of worldwide traffic-related deaths reached a high of 1.35 million in 2016.
The risk of road traffic deaths depends on where in the world a person is living.
In low-income countries, the risk is three times higher than in high-income countries.
The highest death rates are in Africa and Southeast Asia.
The lowest are in the Americas and Europe.
