3. DIURNAL VARIATION IN 100 VEHICULAR ACCIDENT CASES
The distribution of the incident time of the accident cases by the various time periods of the day is shown in the Table-III and Figure-III. On analyzing the data, it was observed that most of the vehicular accidents occurred during the period between 9.01 P.M. - 12 A.M. (Midnight) which accounted for 18% of total cases. This was followed by the period of 6.01 P.M. - 9 P.M. during which 15% of all accidents occurred. The time period of 6.01 A.M. - 9 A.M. and 3.01 P.M. - 6 P.M. accounted for 14 cases each. 12% of the accidents occurred during 9.01 A.M. - 12 P.M. (Noon), and 11% of the cases occurred during 12.01 P.M. - 3 P.M. 12.01 A.M. - 3 A.M. duration accounted for 9% of the cases. 7% of the cases occurred during time period of 3.01 A.M. - 6 A.M.

4. SOCIO-ECONOMIC STATUS
In the present series of 122 cases, maximum number of victims of abdomino-pelvic trauma were from the lower class, i.e., 52.45% of the total cases. Next in the frequency were the cases from middle class (39.34%) followed by the cases of upper class (8.19%). The distribution of these cases in relation to socioeconomic status is shown in Table-IV(a) and Figure-IV(a). In the 100 vehicular accident cases, maximum number of the victims were from the lower class, i.e., 57% as is shown in Table-IV(b) and Figure-IV(b).
