A total of 45 people lost their lives in traffic accidents in South Cyprus last year, marking a 10% increase compared to the previous year, according to reports in the local press.
The figures highlight a worrying upward trend in road fatalities on the island, reversing any progress made in prior years toward improving road safety.
At the broader European level, the toll was even more stark, with 19,350 people killed in road accidents across EU member states during the same period. The data underscores the continued urgency of road safety measures both in Cyprus and across the bloc.
