Twenty-three (23) collisions resulted in twenty-five (25) fatalities on the nation’s roads since the start of 2023 is the latest update. He notes when compared to 2022 there has been a reduction. While encouraging motorists to maintain safety on the roads McKenzie said crashes mostly affect vulnerable road users such as pedestrians and motorcyclists.
