JAKARTA - Indonesia, the world's most populous Muslim-majority nation, recorded 295 deaths from a total of 695 traffic accidents during the fast-breaking festival exodus this year, The Jakarta Post on Friday quoted Indonesian National Police as saying. "As many as 631 were badly injured while the number of those suffering from light injuries are 631," said National Police spokesman Abubakar Nataprawira, citing the police's log between Sept. 25 and Oct. 3.
Abubakar added that the accidents caused a total reported damage to property of 241 million Rupiah (about 20.00 euro), far less than the 3.28 billion Rupiahs (about 210.000 euro) last year, when the number of accidents totaled 1,875. The National Police Traffic Director Yudi Susharyanto attributed the cause of most accidents to drivers' fatigue.
