Abstract: Using mostly secondary data on vehicular accidents obtained from the Nigeria police force and federal road safety commission, the study examine dominant injuries from road traffic accident cycles in Lagos State, Nigeria (1970-2001). The reported dominant injuries from road traffic accident cycles in the 20 local government areas of Lagos State were compared using the analysis of variance (ANOVA). The results showed that for the two factors, local government areas and years, the f-calculated of 21.34 and 9.77 respectively were higher than the f-tabular of 1.57 and 1.46 respectively at 0.05 level of significance. It then implies that the means for each of the factors, reported injuries from road traffic accidents across the 20 local government areas of Lagos State and across different years were significantly different. Based on the findings, recommendations were proffered on how to reduce the phenomenon of injuries from traffic accidents in Lagos State.
