Primary and secondary data has been collected from different stakeholders explicitly to identify the major cause for SINOTRUK accident with in the study area. Based on the finding the study identified the major cause of SINOTRUK related accidents and established recommendation to tackle the severity of SINOTRUK accident in Amhara regional state on the selected link roads. In this research the researcher focused on drivers and vehicle related factors because of environmental and road related factors have a little effect on SINOTRUK accident. Majorly the researcher has given attention to collect the data from traffic police accident record sheets (CR) and from drivers through interview and questionnaires.
