Traffic accidents have increased during the first days of the Holy Week holiday period, already leaving people dead and injured in recent hours.

First responders from Comandos de Salvamento attended to motorcyclists who suffered road incidents along Alameda Juan Pablo II; the victims were taken to medical centers for the trauma they sustained.

Comandos de Salvamento assisted victims at 9ª.  Calle Oriente and 10ª. Avenida Norte, where a vehicle overturned after colliding with another, leaving its occupants with minor injuries that were treated by volunteers at the accident scene.

On the other hand, Comandos de Salvamento attended to an elderly woman who was traveling as a passenger in a public-transportation minibus that collided with a vehicle, leaving her injured.

A traffic accident was recorded at 17ª. Avenida Sur and Calle Rubén Darío, in San Salvador.

 Comandos de Salvamento asks drivers to respect traffic signs, not exceed speed limits, not drive under the influence of alcoholic beverages, and, above all, inspect their vehicle before every trip they make for their own safety and that of their family.

In case of emergency, call 2133-0000 or 911.
