The number of people to have died in
weekend road accidents in Italy has already reached 195 this
year, including data from the weekend of New Year's Eve, the
ASAPS association of supporters of the nation's highway police
said on Sunday.
The association said 73 of the victims were under 35.
The data includes the deaths of two young women aged 17 and 19
who were killed when a car crashed into a tree at Motta di
Livenza, in the northern province of Treviso, overnight.
Two other young people were injured in that accident.
"What strikes me is that this weekend we have had five accidents
with two deaths each, so 10 deaths in five accidents," said
ASAPS President Giordano Biserni.
