List of road accidents records serious road accidents: those that have a large [url=/wiki/Death_toll]death toll[/url], occurred in unusual circumstances, or have some other historical significance. For crashes that killed famous people, refer to [url=/wiki/List_of_people_who_died_in_road_accidents]List of people who died in road accidents[/url]. The prevalence of bus accidents in this list is a function of severity rather than of frequency.
