These accidents resulted in 8,743 fatalities and 38,608 injuries, a drop of 10.4 percent and 12.5 percent respectively year on year, the ministry said in a report on its website. Losses from these accidents were estimated at 130 million yuan (19 million US dollars), dropping 20.7 percent from the same period last year.
Following the intensified efforts to regulate the traffic transport system, the crackdown has significantly reduced serious traffic accident cases, the report said. There were two serious accidents in which more than 10 people were killed during the period, four cases less year on year, it said. The two cases, in eastern Shandong and Anhui provinces, saw 11 people die in each. |
