Road victims to be remembered

VICTIMS of road accidents will be remembered across the country tomorrow.

There have been 286 people killed in collisions so far this year compared to 319 for the same period last year. The World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims is organised by the Road Safety Authority (RSA) and Public Against Road Carnage (PARC) who have called on motorists to reflect on their own behaviour on the roads.

RSA chairman Gay Byrne said: “On Sunday we have an opportunity to remember victims and the pain and suffering of families and friends.
