Nassau, Bahamas - Statement By The Minister Of Transport And Aviation On Two Serious Traffic Accidents On The Streets Of New Providence‏:

Yesterday two very serious accidents occurred on the streets of New Providence causing serious injury and death along with the inevitable grief, pain and suffering.

Again I urge all of our people to have a heightened awareness of the risks associated with distracted or dangerous driving.

I wish to emphasise and reiterate the potential life-saving importance of using seatbelts.

Please let us  inform ourselves as to the deadly dangers associated with excessive speed; of particular concern is our young drivers especially as we approach the Summer months.

Preventing serious traffic accidents requires all of us in the community to educate ourselves on the hard facts associated with these tragic and terrible events. We must each as concerned citizens advocate for safe behaviours on our streets and we must seek to protect each other and ourselves from harm when we use our roads.

I wish to extend heartfelt condolences to the families of those young people that died. I am praying for a full recovery of the injured.
