Santo Domingo – Between January and September, the country’s main trauma centers jointly recorded 20,469 road accidents, 8. 5% higher than in 2019, when another 18,862 people with car accident injuries entered these centres.
On Tuesday, Ney Arias Lora Hospital Director Julio Landron alerted the government to an increase in traffic injuries recorded in the run-up to curfew.
This indicates that, despite COVID-19 and curfew mobility restriction, road injuries have not been controlled in the country.
According to World Health Organization (WHO) statistics, the Dominican Republic is currently among 182 single countries with the number of road deaths relative to its population.
