The World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims is held on the third Sunday of November annually to remember those who have been killed on injured on the world’s roads, along with their families, friends, and others who are also affected.
A special mass will take place tomorrow at 12 noon in St. Eunan’s Cathedral in Letterkenny.
On this special day, we also thank the emergency services who do all they can to help road traffic victims.
A spokesperson for WDR says; “Road deaths and injuries are sudden, violent, traumatic events. Their impact is long-lasting, often permanent. Each year, millions of newly injured and bereaved people from every corner of the world are added to the countless millions who already suffer. The cumulative toll is truly tremendous.”
“The grief and distress experienced by this huge number of people is all the greater because many of the victims are young, because many of the crashes could and should have been prevented and because governments’ and society’s response to road death and injury and to bereaved and injured victims is often inadequate, unsympathetic, and inappropriate to a loss of life or quality of life.”
