THE Island Traffic Authority (ITA) has estimated the economic cost of road fatalities in Jamaica for 2025 was US$72 million (approximately $11.5 billion).
The estimate factors in the number of crash victims, their age at the time they died in a fatal crash, and their projected earnings if they had lived to retirement age.

According to the annual crash report, released this week by the ITA, the US$72 million was an increase of approximately US$4 million when compared to 2024 based on an increase in the number of lives lost last year.
