Morne à cabri, Arcahaie, Chalon (Miragoâne), airport road, Tabarre, route rail , route de frères, Roseaux (Jérémie), Pèlerin 2, Léogane among others, are the main communes and zones where these accidents were recorded .

Remember that this weekly report was carried out in partnership with the National Ambulance Center (CAN) and the Haitian Red Cross. However, due to lack of resources STOP-Accident is unable to monitor the state of health of the injured, some of whom die as a result of their injuries and are not counted.

STOP-Accidents, reiterates its call for caution on our roads and urges the Government to strengthen preventive measures and to set up a systematic vehicle inspection service.
