The 21st of November 2021 is the World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims
The Doctors for Road Safety NGO highlighted the pressing need for stricter road enforcement and more education towards road safety awareness.
Their thoughts went out to Jessica Tabone, who died in a road accident in 2015, as well as to her relatives and friends
Founder of NGO J.E.S.S -Justice to Ensure Safer Streets Toni Ann Muscat, who was also one of Jessica's friends, described her as an energetic, fun, loving and smart 22-year-old who, "had her whole life ahead of her, taken away in seconds by someone's careless disregard for the implications of his actions."
"The death of those who fell victims of road accidents greatly impacted the lives of their relatives and friends. Years have passed and while it gets easier, it never gets better," said Muscat.
NGO J.E.S.S was taken over by Doctors for Road Safety in 2017 to continue to advocate better safety for Malta and Gozo's roads.
