The statistics from Comandos de Salvamento de El Salvador reflect that 98 traffic accidents have been attended, leaving more than one hundred injured during the Easter vacation season-

The road incidents have been recorded on the main highways. It is worth mentioning that some of them occurred due to speeding or distractions, as some drivers ended up underneath tractor-trailers.

Of the 98 traffic accidents that occurred, most involved motorcyclists who were struck or collided with motor vehicles.

Comandos de Salvamento de El Salvador will maintain its volunteers on alert at the aid stations until Resurrection Sunday, as well as its lifeguards, who will remain at the country’s beaches and tourist centers.

Four people have lost their lives in these road incidents.

In the last few hours, responders from the Ciudad Arce branch of Comandos de Salvamento went to the Claudia Lars roundabout, where a car crashed into a tractor-trailer parked on the side of the road. However, only material damage was reported.

At San Diego Beach, a young motorcyclist suffered trauma after skidding on his motorcycle. He was treated by Comandos de Salvamento volunteers, who transported him to a medical center.

In the Apulo area, another motorcycle driver was assisted by Comandos de Salvamento from the Ilopango branch and, due to his injuries, was admitted to San Bartolo Hospital.
