This summer, Spanish roads witnessed a tragic toll with 241 fatalities, marking a slight increase from the previous year.

Despite a record-breaking 98 million road trips, the number of deadly accidents slightly decreased, yet the fatalities rose by three.

Vulnerable road users, including motorcyclists, cyclists, and pedestrians, accounted for nearly half of the deaths, highlighting a worrying trend.

The Interior Minister, Fernando Grande-Marlaska, emphasized the need for improved road safety, especially as the number of motorcyclist deaths rose significantly.

While some regions like Madrid and Catalonia saw a decrease in fatalities, others like Andalusia experienced a sharp rise.

The government aims to halve road fatalities by 2030, underscoring the urgency of addressing this persistent issue.
