The MVA Fund calls on all road users to remain alert, cautious, and considerate on the roads. Every moment of vigilance can save lives. During the past week alone, 67 road crashes were recorded nationwide. From January to 19 October 2025, the Fund recorded 2,606 crashes, resulting in 4,216 injuries and 401 fatalities.
Road crashes leave deep scars on families, communities, and the nation as a whole. Yet, they remain largely preventable through careful planning, adherence to traffic laws, and a collective commitment to responsible driving.
The Fund would like to remind the public to report crashes to its toll-free accident response number, 9682, as doing so could save lives.
