People killed in road traffic accidents in China declined from 94,000 in 2004 to 67,000 in 2009, a decrease of 30 percent, an official with China Automotive Technology Research Center (CATRC) said Tuesday.

Road traffic accidents fell by 50 percent from 2004 to 670,000 in 2009, as China moved to ban overloaded vehicles and stop drunk driving, Zhao Hang, director with the CATRC told at a forum on road transportation safety.

The traffic accident death toll in China has decreased year by year, but it is still generally 10 times more than that in the developed nations.
