India road crashes kill 146,133 people in 2015
More than 140,000 people were killed on India's roads last year, according to figures released by the government.
The total number of fatalities represent an increase of 4.6% on the previous year.
More than half of the people killed in more than 500,000 road accidents last year were aged 15-34.
