60% of Accidents Involve Light Vehicles

More than half of traffic accidents outside of cities involve light vehicles, said Traffic Control Police chief Nader Rahmani. “Sedans and other light vehicles are involved in 60% of inter-city road accidents,” he was quoted by ILNA as saying. These vehicles were involved in a total of 45,735 accidents in the past Iranian year (ended March), while motorcycles were part of 19% of road crashes, and pickup trucks, large trucks and trailers, 10%. Buses and minibuses comprised the remaining, Rahmani noted.
