Relatively low number of accidents on Czech roads on Easter weekend

Preliminary police statistics suggest that the long weekend has been relatively calm on Czech roads. Three people were killed in traffic accidents on Saturday. Sunday saw two people killed, and one dead has been reported on Monday. Experts assume that favourable weather has been a positive factor and also the fact that people were afraid of busy traffic and therefore drove more carefully. On Saturday, police reported 317 traffic accidents with 8 people seriously injured. On Sunday, there were 265 accidents and 7 people sustained serious injuries.
