Romania, Bulgaria, Lithuania and Poland did similarly badly, with more than 80 dead per million inhabitants, while in neighboring Estonia the figure was markedly better 59.
The safest roads in 2014 were in Malta, the UK, the Netherlands, and Sweden, where fewer than 30 people died in crashes per million inhabitants.
In addition to this, Latvia is also among the worst performers in terms of pedestrian deaths, as pedestrians make up 39% of road traffic fatalities in Latvia, while the EU average is 22%.
