Findings – The SEM results show that the model hypothesis predictor index of road accidents have a good match but personality factors do not have affect directly on road accident and the stress of driver and driver behavior have a significant effect on Road accident; therefore the model needs to be re¬specified.All of the predictors have influenced for 4% of variance on road accidents. Two predictor variables were accounted for 24% of variance on the behavior of drivers. Stress drivers directly affecting road accidents by (β = .13), and driver behavior (β = .07) .Two predictor variables on the driver behavior also reveals that the personality basis directly affects the behavior of the driver (β = .18), followed by stress of the driver have a direct influence on the behavior of drivers (β = .38). The factor of driver behavior error and lapses have strong effect to road accident Novelty – The implication this study show that there is a need for an intervention program in order to reduce the prevalence of accident involvement due to personality factors.
