The study aimed to examine the general contribution of motor traffic accidents (MTAs) to the total number of deaths in Dar es Salaam city from 1985 to 1991, and the number of people impaired by MTAs in 1991. Data of deaths from all causes, deaths caused by MTAs and of people impaired by MTAs was collected. In seven years the contribution of MTAs to the total number of deaths was more or less constant (24 to 21 people per 1,000 deaths), with the exception of 1985 (48 per 1,000 deaths). In 1991, a total of 1,829 MTAs were recorded in Muhimbili Medical Centre and these claimed 113 human lives on the spot and impaired 2,834 who had to attend medical services for injuries. The victims were in their prime years (11-40 years). The problem of MTAs in Dar es Salaam reflects those of other urban centres in Africa.
该研究旨在调查1985年至1991年期间达累斯萨拉姆市机动车交通事故（MTA）对总死亡人数的总体贡献，以及1991年因机动车交通事故而受伤害的人数。收集了所有原因导致的死亡数据、机动车交通事故导致的死亡数据以及因机动车交通事故而受伤害的人数数据。在七年时间里，机动车交通事故对总死亡人数的贡献大致保持不变（每1000例死亡中有24至21人），1985年除外（每1000例死亡中有48人）。1991年，穆希姆比利医疗中心共记录了1829起机动车交通事故，这些事故当场造成113人死亡，2834人受伤，伤者不得不前往医疗服务机构接受治疗。受害者处于青壮年时期（11至40岁）。达累斯萨拉姆市的机动车交通事故问题反映了非洲其他城市中心的情况。
