Greece held the 7th worst record among the EU28 in terms of traffic accident fatalities with 64 deaths in 2018, according to data released by the European Commission.

The European Union has managed to reduce its road deaths, but 25,000 people were still killed in road traffic accidents across all 28 Member States in 2018. That corresponds to 49 road deaths per million inhabitants, a one percent increase from 2017, according to the European Commission.
