Background: Road traffic accidents have been noted to have a very high fatality and morbidity rate globally, particularly low and middle income countries (LMIC’s)[1].It has been observed that most of the people involved in RTA end up with fractures, head injuries, spinal injuries, amputation, very serious neurovascular injuries and even death. It has been also observed that most of the road traffic accidents involved commercial motorcycle drivers, pedestrians and fast-moving vehicles [2]. However prevalence and contributing factors which contribute to occurrence of road traffic accidents are not well understood due to the limited information.
Therefore, this study helped to assess the prevalence and contributing factors for road traffic accidents among commercial motorcycle drivers at Nyamagana District, and to the best of my scope this research has never been done here at CUHAS-Bugando
