The number of Algerians, who died in car accidents in Algiers Province reached 1,181 during the first half of the current year. This figure reflects a 19% decline compared to the equivalent period of last year, when the number of victims was 1,575, the July 21 edition of <i>Al-Khabar</i> newspaper reported.
The province's safety authorities have attributed this drop to the implementation of a new traffic law.
