Garnel Michel Coordinator of the Haitian organization Technical and Operational Services to Stop Accidents (STOP-Accidents), informs us that from March 23 to 29, 2020, 18 road accidents on the national territory made at least 26 victims (-42 % compared to the previous week https://www.icihaiti.com/en/news-30368-icihaiti-road-safety-18-accidents-at-least-37-victims.html ): 4 dead (+ 200%) and 22 injured (-38.8%) including several seriously. The majority of people are pedestrians.

Morne-à-Cabrit, Diègue, Port-Salut, Delmas 32, Pont Sondé, Petit-Goâve, Anse-à-Pitres and Cabaret among others, are the main communes and areas where these accidents have been recorded.

Recall that this weekly assessment was carried out in partnership with the National Ambulance Center (CAN) and the Haitian Red Cross. However, due to a lack of STOP-Accident means, it is unable to monitor the state of health of the injured, some of whom die from their injuries and are not counted.

STOP-Accidents, reiterates its call for caution on our roads while continuing to ask the authorities concerned to take measures to reduce the risk of accidents on public roads and better behavior of drivers on the roads.
