For the second consecutive day, the Committee for the Prevention of Mass Mobilizations (Conapremm) is accompanying this Sunday the return of vehicles in a caravan to the capital of Honduras at the end of the Morazan holiday.
Since Saturday, personnel from the institutions that make up Conapremm have implemented the caravan modality to prevent speeding on the roads, where around a hundred traffic accidents had been recorded until Friday .
The caravan aims to prevent drivers from exceeding the speed limit, to ensure road safety and protect the lives of travelers.
Coming from the southern departments of Honduras, and even from El Salvador, where more than 24 thousand Hondurans traveled during the holiday , dozens of vehicles entered the Honduran capital this Sunday, some to continue their journey to the north or east of the country.
Vehicles from the north and central areas of Honduras also entered the northern exit to Tegucigalpa on Sunday, some of which were heading to the departments in the south and east of the country.
On the CA-5 highway, several caravans headed by patrol cars were on their way from Siguatepeque to the El Durazno police station, at the entrance to Tegucigalpa, to accompany travelers on their return.
An increase in activity is also expected in the afternoon at the large San Pedro Sula terminal, with the arrival of intercity buses from tourist areas in different regions of the country.
Traffic accidents in the last week have left more than 80 people injured and 814 driving licenses have been confiscated, Conapremm has also reported in its latest report.
Despite these worrying figures, Conapremm authorities have indicated that the numbers are lower compared to previous years.
Although no deaths have been officially reported on the Morazan holiday, at least one victim has been recorded, with the death of a man by drowning in a beach resort in the municipality of Sabanagrande, south of Tegucigalpa.
It is expected that during the afternoon and evening of this Sunday there will be a greater flow of vacationers returning to the Honduran capital to resume their work on Monday, both in the public and private sectors.
