Those injured in non-fatal accidents also came down from 3,329 in 2015 to 3,182 the next year.
"The campaign launched by chief ministerMamata Banerjee is clearly having its impact, with more bikers wearing their helmets now," said additional CP (I) Vineet Goel, adding the results of 20,000 public transport drivers taking driving lessons at traffic guards were also evident.
The police figures, however, seemed to look away from the worrying factors that TOI has dug up. In 2015, 412 fatal accidents led to 422 deaths, accounting for 1.02 deaths per case. In 2016, 388 fatal accidents led to the deaths of 407 people, accounting for 1.04 deaths per accident. Besides, while there were merely 11 deaths of people wearing helmets between July and December in 2015, 23 such deaths were registered this year. Three persons were killed in a single accident at the Alipore Road-AJC Bose Road crossing when a car jumped the signals and rammed into pedestrians. Even on Friday, a minibus-taxi collision injured three persons grievously. "New stretches, including flyovers like Maa and AJC Bose, are seeing speeding. Single accidents are claiming more lives than ever before," an officer said.
