asking for help: there be + noun.
I don't know how to write the following sentence correctly. Can anybody help me and thanks in advance.
1.There are tens of thousands traffic accidents ( ) annuanlly all over the world.
2.There are tens of thousands traffic accidents (happen) annuanlly all over the world.
3.There are tens of thousands traffic accidents (happening) annuanlly all over the world.
Personally, if there is no "happen" in the sentence, it seems a little weird, just as shown in the first sentence. However, the second and the third setences all seem to be wrong in grammar.
What should I do? I mean how can I express it approriately?

Here are a few good examples. Your first one is pretty good:
There are tens of thousands of traffic accidents around the world annually.
Annually, there are tens of thousands of traffic accidents around the world.
Tens of thousands of traffic accidents happen annually around the world.
Hope that helps.
