Ajman: The number of traffic reports of “unknown accidents” in the Emirate of Ajman during the year 2023 has gone down to zero, while serious accidents were down 14 per cent.
Notably, traffic accident deaths decreased by 15 per cent and injuries dropped by 20 per cent in the Emirate last year, latest Ajman traffic police data show.
The figures contribute to support the indicators of the national agenda for 2023.
An “unknown accident” is where vehicles are damaged by an unknown party. The law requires reporting any car accident to police regardless of its intensity.
An “unknown accident report” allows owners of the damaged vehicle to obtain an accident report, thus allowing them to repair their damaged vehicle.
