| description | The study examined a trend analysis of reported number of injured from road traffic crashes in Lagos State. The trend analysis and time series approach were used to compare the reported number of wounded in Lagos State's 20 local government areas over a 53-year period (1970–2023). The trend of injured from road traffic accidents revealed that the phenomenon is on the increase in other words, the gradient of injured occurrence from RTA's is on the increase in Lagos State. The result from the multiple regression analysis showed that the R2 value was 0.82. These implies that the proportion of variation in the dependent variable explained by the independent variable was 82%. The F-ratio of 15.64 was higher than the table value of 2.91 at 0.05 level of confidence, indicating that at least one of the independent variables had a significant influence on the dependent variable. Recommendations for lowering the incidence of injuries from traffic accidents in Lagos State, Nigeria, were made in light of the findings. |
