Abstract

There has been an increase in the occurrence of road accidents over the years with the vehicle-accidents as one of the highest rated causes of accidents in Nigeria. In this regard, information on “vehicle-caused” accidents and its effects is required in order to proffer solutions and preventive measures in avoiding consequent deaths. This data article therefore presents the data on road accidents caused by vehicles within a 5-year period: 2010 – 2015. The degree of these accidents is categorized as minor, fatal and serious as the highest degree and the types of vehicles involved in these accidents are also presented and analyzed with the use of tables and graphs with a view to easily extract useful deductions needed to make informed decisions.
