Bad balance on the roads during last Easter.
Between 3:00 p.m. on Friday, March 26, and 11:59 p.m. on Monday, April 5,
a total of 32 people died in traffic accidents in Spain
.
These are provisional data, but it is
the worst figure since 2016, when 41 fatalities were registered.
In 2019, the last normal year before the pandemic, there were 27 people
and in 2020, when only justified or essential displacements were allowed, 12 deaths were registered.
The high number of victims that have occurred this year is even more negative because it has occurred with strong restrictions on mobility that prevented long-distance trips, between Autonomous Communities, the mountain road or the beach.
In fact, the DGT has recorded 8.1 million trips, 46% less than in 2019.
There has been road mobility with short trips, and very focused on weekends, which recorded 23 of the 32 deaths.
In addition, and this has been the trend for years, 70% of deaths took place on secondary roads.
Profile of motorcycle accidents
Traffic highlights that
47% of the deceased were vulnerable users, that is, pedestrians (2), cyclists (1) and motorists (12).
The accidents that the latter have suffered leave a very clear profile: 11 of the fatal accidents in which they were involved occurred on Saturdays or holidays, 10 on conventional roads and in
11 cases they involved exits, falls or overturning, which which means that the motorist was alone
.
67% of the deceased were between 30 and 50 years old.
