An apparatus and method are provided, which allow vehicle drivers to be efficiently warned of approaching accident-prone road sections. For this purpose, geographical coordinates of a moving vehicle of a driver are compared with geographical coordinates of boundaries of each of one or more pre-stored accident-prone road sections within a geographical area of interest. As a result of said comparison, an approaching accident-prone road section is determined for the moving vehicle. When the distance between the moving vehicle and the approaching accident-prone road section is equal to a threshold distance, a warning signal is generated and outputted to the driver. The warning signal comprises information about the approaching accident-prone road section that is defined based on accident-related data for each traffic accident occurred on the approaching accident-prone road section during a time period of interest.
