iciHaïti - Security : 82% increase in road accidents
10/12/2019 08:26:47

Garnel Michel Coordinator of the Haitian Organization Technical and Operational Services to Stop Accident (STOP-Accidents), informs us in his weekly report that from December 2 to 8, 2019, 31 road accidents on the national territory (+ 82% compared in the previous week) caused at least 48 victims (+ 78%): 5 dead (+ 500%) and 43 injured (+ 65%), including several seriously.

Nazon, Gonaïves, Morne Cabrit, Mole Saint-Nicolas, Carenages, Mariani, Arcahaie, Delmas 32, Bourdon, Route Rail, Delmas 75, Ouanaminthe, among others, are the main communes 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, for lack of means STOP-Accident is not able 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, draws the attention on the area of Pèlerin (commune of Pétion-ville) where several accidents have been recorded in recent weeks and reiterates its call for caution on our roads while continuing to ask the authorities concerned to take steps measures to reduce the risk of accidents on public roads.
