NRSC says same effort used to reduce murders can be applied to road crashes & fatalities

The National Road Safety Council (NRSC) has argued that efforts used to reduce murders can also be used in reducing motor vehicle crashes and fatalities.

The NRSC noted that enforcement and application of sanctions can alter people’s behaviour and response to traffic laws.

The concern comes in the wake of a very high death toll for 2025 and fear that 2026 has already gotten off to a poor start.

Three hundred and seventy three persons were killed in crashes last year, 9 more than recorded in 2024.

The first fatality for the new year happened in St. James yesterday.

Geovaughny bailey, an18 year-old student, was killed while travelling in car that collided with another along the Childermass main road in Lethe.

NRSC Vice Chairman Dr. Lucien Jones said peoples adherence to road safety regulations this year will determine what happens on the nations roadways.

Dr. Jones said with national resolve and firm leadership, Jamaica can achieve a reduction in road crashes and fatalities.
