Aim.  To determine the regularities and features of the formation of indicators of fatal outcomes in the Moscow region as a result of injuries caused by road accidents.  Material and methods.  We studied the dynamics of indicators of road traffic injuries with fatal outcomes in the Moscow region for the period 2015–2019. The study is continuous. The scope of the study is 5.112 cases of fatal traffic injuries. Research methods: documentary, statistical, graphic, and comparative analysis. Descriptive statistics are presented in the form of relative intensive and extensive coefficients.  Results.  It was found that in the Moscow region in the period 2015–2019 there was a decrease in the number of deaths from road accidents by 1.7 times. At the same time, there is a 2.2-fold decrease in the number of deaths with the presence of ethyl alcohol in the blood.  Conclusion.  During the five-year observation period, the structure of the dead showed a predominance of young people with a tendency to decrease their number in dynamics, changing the structure of the dead at the place of registration due to an increase in the share of dead residents of the Moscow region and a decrease in the share of dead residents of Moscow and other regions of the Russian Federation.
