ABSTRACT 

A Road Motor Accident (RMA) is when a motor bicycle collides with another vehicle, pedestrian, animal or geographical or architectural obstacle. The RMAs can result in injury, property damage and death. RMA results in the deaths of 1.2 m people worldwide each year and injures about 4 times this number.  (WHO, 2004). This was a retrospective study in Tema General Hospital. The records of the road motor accidents were reviewed and data of the occurrences was collected. Data was analysed with Excel and Epi- info. The total number of cases admitted to the hospital from the year 2013 to 2015 were used for the study. In the study, there were 4308 cases admitted in 2013, 2827 in 2014 and 2188 in the year 2015. With respect to gender, there were 2785 cases for males in 2013, 1079 in 2014 and 1343 in 2015. The female cases recorded were 1523 in 2013, 1748 in 2014 and 845 in 2015. In all, 685 cases were recorded from 2013 to 2015. 303 cases were recorded in 2013 with 180 males and 123 females. 260 cases were recorded in 2014 with 148 males and 112 females. 122 cases were recorded in 2015 with 98 being males and 24 females. The total inpatient motor cases recorded. In all, 412 cases were recorded from 2013 to 2015. 109 cases were recorded in 2013 with 42 males and 67 females. 182 cases were recorded in 2014 with 129 males and 53 females. 121 cases were recorded in 2015 with 84 being males and 37 females. The total motor morbidity cases recorded. In all, 221 cases were recorded from 2013 to 2015. 63 cases were recorded in 2013 with 24 males and 39 females. 70 cases were recorded in 2014 with 16 males and 54 females. 88 cases were recorded in 2015 with 37 being males and 51 females. Motor traffic death remains the leading cause of fatality among urban road users in Ghana. Major risk factors associated with motor traffic fatality include speeding and roadside activities. Publications documenting deaths from trauma, especially in Ghana are relatively scarce. However, an understanding of causes of largely preventable trauma deaths is needed to guide the design of public health interventions and policies
