Roads in Albania are being stained with blood every day due to traffic accidents, which often result in fatalities. Skënder Brataj, Director of the National Emergency Service, stated in an interview for Euronews Albania that on average 12 road accidents occur daily, with most of them caused by young people.
Brataj emphasized that all institutions need to be made aware in order to analyze the causes of these accidents.
However, accidents are only part of the broader category of trauma, which ranks fifth when it comes to loss of life and disability.
Meanwhile, the latest report from INSTAT shows that in March alone, 89 road accidents were recorded, with 117 people injured—some of whom lost their lives. Analysis by statistical experts shows that during March, 86.5% of road accidents occurred due to driver behavior, and that the 25–34 age group accounts for the highest number of accidents, making up 32.6% of the total recorded during this period.
