KINGSTON, Jamaica — The Island Traffic Authority (ITA) is reporting that 49 fewer people have been killed in road fatalities up to June 5 this year, when compared with the similar period in 2025.

This is a big 30 per cent decline in road deaths from 103 fatal crashes. If the current 30 per cent decrease is maintained throughout the year, Jamaica would see road fatalities falling below the 300-mark for the first time since 2012 when 260 people were killed.

Of note is that fatal crashes this year are also down 30 per cent according to the latest daily crash statistics released by the ITA.
