Correct answer
Yes.
The environment is affected by road traffic accidents, as shown by the consequences they produce: hazardous-substance spills, as accidents may result in fuel, oil and other harmful liquids contaminating soil and water sources; emissions of gases and particles, as vehicles may emit additional pollutants, especially if fires occur or damaged vehicles continue running; damage to local flora and fauna, as accidents in natural areas may damage vegetation and affect local animal habitats; and clean-up and repair resources, as post-accident operations consume resources and may have their own environmental impact.
