2,670 children die in road accidents

ROAD accidents killed 2,670 preschoolers and primary and middle school students and injured another 11,417 in China last year, figures from the Ministry of Public Security show.

As 45 percent of the fatal accidents occurred when the victims were walking, the ministry has urged parents and school teachers to make more effort to ensure children to follow traffic signals and choose a zebra crossing or an underpass when crossing a street. Traffic accidents on China's roads result in about 70,000 deaths each year, according to the ministry.
