THE DECADE OF ROAD SAFETY
With a simulation accident that culminated in the public presentation throughout “Launch of the Decade of Action for Road Safety 2011-2020” which aims to reduce traffic accidents and thousands of deaths and injuries they engender. The event was inaugurated by public works minister Gerson Martines. The road safety plan presents alarming statistics on accidents. they are the leading cause of death for young people between 15 and 29 in El Salvador. Nearly 1.3 million people die each year on the roads throughout the world making Motor Vehicle Accidents the leading cause of deaths worldwide. In El Salvador accidents cause about three deaths per day and an average of 22 injuries. 75 percent of these deaths are related to driver inattention, excessive speed and imprudence by pedestrians.
The campaign ended with an extrication drill enacted by CDS paramedics, EMTs and extrication specialists from our “UDR” rescue unit. The UDR is also involved in Urban Search and Rescue. San Salvador is one of the most densely populated cities in Latin America and MVAs are an every day occurrence.
