[The Lebanese Traffic Management Center published the number of accidents that took place in 2013 month by month. The total was 3204 accidents, causing 4301 injuries and 560 casualties. August was the deadliest month with 78 kills. I usually check stats on KunHadi’s website (see above) but the December numbers are missing.
Even though the number of casualties is almost the same, the total number of accidents is down by 30% from 2012 which is good news!

Not very good N.
Less accidents but same number of casualties… Biggest/strongest accidents!!
I actually don’t follow how values for “% as compared to the previous year” are computed (last row of the table):
2013 vs. 2012
number of crashes = (2938-4804)/4804 = -0.38
number of injuries = (3964-6697)/6697 = -0.41
number of fatalities = (511-595)/511 = -0.16
While the number of crashes, injuries, and fatalities are all down as compared to 2012, the number of fatalities diminished at less than half the rate of decline of crashes.
“Even though the number of casualties is almost the same, the total number of accidents is down by 30% from 2012 which is good news!” — obviously “good news” means something different in Lebanon.
