The total number of road accidents in Egypt during 2016 rose 1.1% to 14,710, up from 14,548 in 2015, according to a report from the Central Agency for Public Mobilization and Statistics (CAPMAS) cited by Al Masry Al Youm. (We’re not entirely certain that CAPMAS didn’t forget a ‘000 at the end of those last two figures.) The state-run statistics agency says More than 5,300 died and nearly 19,000 were injured in those accidents. Seventy-two percent of accidents, it says, were due to human error.
