Morocco's road toll continues to climb

The number of accidents on Moroccan roads continues to climb and this week Fez was the scene of the most recent addition to the statistics. In the latest incident, three people were killed while on the side of the road, pushing their broken-down car when a van, heading from neighbouring Sefrou to Sidi Yahia, ran into them. All of the victims died on the scene.

The government has a programme to cut down the road toll, but until driver education is increased and policing improves, we can expect the carnage on the roads to continue.
