A total of 115 deaths were recorded in 2017 as a direct result of traffic accidents on the country’s roadways.
This is according to acting Commissioner of Police David Ramnarine, who presented the data during the Guyana Police Force (GPF) year-end review at Police Headquarters, Eve Leary yesterday.
Alluding to the 2016 launch of “Operation Safeway” in 2016, Ramnarine said there was great need for such a strategy since many were concerned about the growing number of vehicular accidents, particularly since there was a 33% increase in accidents and a 17% increase in deaths at that time.
