Road accidents are causing a large number of losses. Road accidents become a hazard for low to middle-income countries; as these countries share a major amount of crashes on a global scale. With the increase in population and motorized vehicles, the accident scenarios become more complex for countries like India. Injuries and fatalities caused due to a crash are affecting the mental, physical as well as financial status of the victim’s family. Collectively, higher numbers of fatalities cause a much higher influence on the human development of the country. Therefore, a strategic approach is a must to prevent road accidents and related causalities. The sole objective of the present study is to determine the crash influencing parameters within Gujarat. The majority of study data is harvested from the annual road accident report provided by the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways. The collected data is categorized into different sets of sub-parameters. Particular categorization helps to understand the overall impact of sub-parameter. The related sub-parameters are put under the major influencing factors stated as human factors, vehicular factors, road and environmental factors. These major factors are integrated during the study by applying the Haddon matrix. The Haddon matrix highlighted the major influencing determinants for Gujarat. The analysis provides the most affecting factors at pre-crash, during the crash, and post-crash scenario with preventive strategies at every stage.
