Twenty-three people have lost their lives on the roads of Val-d'Oise since the start of the year, compared to 16 in 2021 at the same period.
The increase therefore reaches 30%.
As for the number of deaths, it is already equivalent to that deplored during the whole of last year, indicates
Le Parisien
.
Nine of the deaths took place in a light vehicle, six concerned pedestrians and four motorized two-wheelers.
One victim was riding a bicycle and another on a scooter.
“There is a relaxation of road users, estimated gendarmerie colonel Quentin Petit.
This is a trend observed since last summer, a phenomenon of post-Covid decompensation ”.
Post-health crisis
Traffic flows have also increased after the health crisis linked to the coronavirus.
The main causes of accidents are speed, dangerous overtaking and inattention due to the use of mobile phones, denounced by the prefecture.
This last factor is particularly detrimental to pedestrians.
