Czech roads sixth most dangerous in Europe

Roads in the Czech Republic have been rated as the sixth most dangerous in Europe by the European Transport Safety Council. The rating, based on the number of fatal accidents per 100,000 inhabitants, places the Czech Republic with 12.6 fatalities in sixth position among 23 European countries included in the survey. Over the weekend, nine people died in traffic accidents in the country and the number of fatal accidents has increased in comparison with last year. Zdenek Bambas, the head of the national traffic police, lost his job last week as a result.
