Road safety is a major concern for both personal safety and public health in Morocco. The Ministry of Equipment, Transport, Logistics, and Water (METLW) reported that in 2017, there were 89,375 personal injuries, with an average of 361 injuries and 10 fatalities every day. The goal of this study is to evaluate Moroccan traffic accidents and identify the elements that affect drivers, vehicles, and pedestrians. We use a descriptive and exploratory statistical analysis on the Moroccan accident database between 2013 and 2017. METLW is the source of the database, which contains details about the characteristics of drivers, vehicles, and pedestrians. The majority of drivers, approximately 76%, are between the ages of 18 and 53, making them the group most at risk for car accidents. 95.2% of drivers are men, which is a significant amount. Because the majority of the victims’ drivers had very minor injuries or no injuries at all, intersections are where accidents are most likely to happen. Moroccan accident casualties and fatalities are not significantly influenced by vehicle type or use.
