Today is the World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims.

Every 24 seconds, the 🌍 loses:
a child
a father
a mother
a brother
a sister
a friend
a colleague...

Remember those who died.
Support those who survived.
Take action to save lives.

Every year the lives of nearly 1.3 million people 🌍 are cut short because of road traffic crashes 🚦

Today and every day, let's take a moment to remember them.
