Garnel Michel Coordinator of the Haitian organization Technical and Operational Services to Stop Accident (STOP-Accidents), informs us that from 21 to 27 October 2019, 41 road accidents (+ 85% compared to the previous week) have made at least 78 victims (+ 56%): 7 dead (+ 133%) and 71 wounded (51%), several seriously.

Bourdon, Laboule 10, Savane Ouest (Miragoâne), Thomonde, Route de Frères, Madeline (Cap-Haïtien), Delmas 40b, Gommier (Chalon), Carrefour Turenne (Gonaïves), Titanyen, Carrefour Marassa, Vivy Mitchel et Kenskoff, among others , are the main towns and areas where these accidents were recorded.

Remember that this weekly report was made in partnership with the National Ambulance Center (CAN) and the Haitian Red Cross. However, due to a lack of resources, the STOP-Accident organization is unable to monitor the state of health of the wounded, some of whom die as a result of their injuries and are not counted.

STOP Accidents reiterates its call for caution on our roads and continues to ask the authorities concerned to take measures to reduce the risk of accidents on public roads.
