    Songkran death toll climbs to 59

    Death toll from road accidents now rose to 59 in two days of the seven-day dangerous period starting from April 9-15.
    The Road Safety Directing Centre said 34 people were killed on the second day of the campaign to reduce road mishaps during the seven-day dangerous period.

    This raised to a total of 59 deaths in two days.

    The centre spokesman Pol Lt Gen Suveera Songmetta said there were 399 road accidents yesterday with 417 injuries and 34 deaths.

    In total, he said there were 723 accidents, 765 injuries and 59 deaths in two days.

    Nakhon Ratchasima came top with 36 accidents, 40 injuries and six deaths.

    Drunk driving remains the main cause of fatal accidents.
