PHUKET: Phuket has concluded the “Seven Days of Danger” road-safety campaign for the New Year with zero deaths, Vice Governor Supoj Rotreuang Na Nongkhai announced this morning (Jan 3).

 

At the daily morning briefing for the campaign with fellow relevant officials at Phuket Provincial Hall, Vice Governor Supoj noted that Phuket concluded the campaign with 53 people injured in 47 accidents during the seven days, which began last Friday and ended at midnight last night (Dec 27 – Jan 2).

 

Amazingly, Phuket suffered just one accident on the last day of the campaign, yesterday, Vice Governor Supoj noted, referring to the official report compiled by the Phuket Provincial office of the Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation (DDPM-Phuket).

My local town with a population similar to Phuket has celebrated over 5 years without a death on the road. Just saying

I seem to recall reading about one death very early into the campaign.

(Perhaps I am wrong. First time this year!)
