By Carlo P. Mallo

VEHICULAR accidents increased 30 percent in 2006 as compared to 2005, the Traffic Management Group said.

In 2006, the traffic group recorded 4,026 vehicular accidents while there were only 3,795 cases in 2005.

The month of November had the highest record of vehicular accidents with 67 cases of physical injuries and one case of homicide.

April on the other hand had the highest recorded number of casualties with five, while the months of January, August, September, and October had zero casualties.

Most accidents involved private vehicles and caused by driving under the influence of liquor and over speeding.

Majority of the accidents reported occurred late in the evening until the wee hours of the morning.

The Traffic Management Group, however, cited that there was no significant increase in the number of vehicular accidents in 2006 compared to 2005.
