Background and Objectives: Accident is an important public health problem around the world. The aim of this research was to study the determinants of road accidents in Ahar-Tabriz in 2017.
Materials and Methods: This descriptive study was carried out in three stages of documentation, data collection via interviews with the high way police and analysis of 971 accidents recorded by chi-square test in 2017.

In addition, there was a significant statistical relationship between the main causes of road accidents and independent variables (except using helmet) (p<0.05).
Conclusion: According to the higher percentage of accidents due to inability to control the vehicle, it is suggested that guidelines be taken by the relevant authorities in the field of proper driving instruction and road and vehicle safety.
