World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims

Photo: BGNES

Today is World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims. This year the target is to reduce road fatalities and serious injuries by 50 percent. 
Alexy Kesyakov from the National Public Advisory Road Safety Committee on the meaning of this day:
“We should thank the people who help road accident casualties, who transport them and help save human life and health. On this day we should admit how little we know about the risks on the roads, how little we know of the processes taking place there. In memory of road accident victims we should amend our conduct and focus on one goal - every time we go on the road, to be able to reach our destination, so life may go on.”
Police patrols along the Sofia-Varna road on the territory of the region of Lovech will be doubled on weekends and on holidays after the three severe road accidents that took place there since Friday, claiming the lives of 11 and injuring 26, 4 of them in critical condition with life-threatening injuries. Interior Minister Valentin Radev and Interior Ministry Chief Secretary Mladen Marinov arrived on location to inspect the route.
Minister Radev stated he expected the expert analysis of the road section to be ready today. Mladen Marinov added that the causes of Friday's collision between a bus and a truck, which killed 9, are still being investigated.
