Road accidents claimed 116 lives in August – Official

Colonel Tchinda Henri
The National Gendarmerie has revealed that a total of 116 people were killed in the month of August 2017 on the main roads in Cameroon. A spokesperson for the Gendarmerie force, Colonel Tchinda Henri noted on Sunday via Canal Press program on Canal 2 International tv that 90% of these accidents were due to  human causes and 10% were due to environmental issues.
                Cameroon Concord News gathered from the televised presentation that human causes were mainly the imprudence of drivers with recklessness manifested through speeding, dangerous overtaking, poor parking of vehicles and driver fatigue.

                Colonel Tchinda Henri did not blame the poor state of the roads including the complete absence of traffic police and proper driving schools in the country but in a typical CPDM pattern, presented a plan adopted by the Gendarmerie to limit road accidents during the back-to-school period.
                This is what the gendarmerie does every year and expect better results, an observer said, noting that the government seems helpless in the face of accidents.
