Pedestrians recorded the highest number of fatalities in road accidents that have occurred since the year started.
This is according to statistics from the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) collected between January 1 to March 24, 2024.
The data seen by the Star shows that pedestrians accounted for 403 deaths out of the 1,090 recorded during the period under review.
This is an increase compared to the same period last year where 343 deaths were reported.
The data, however, showed a slight decrease in deaths involving motorcyclists which stood at 260 compared to 276 recorded same period in 2023.
