His Excellency Salem Al Midfa, CEO ofRafid Automotive solutions, said that varying numbers of minor accidents were recorded during the days of Eid, and confirmed that June 27 saw the highest amount of recorded accidents.

Al Midfaexplained that the traffic accidents during Eid were caused by several reasons, most notably of which were the lack of focus and preoccupation with phones while driving, not leaving enough distance between vehicles, and failure to adhere to mandatory route for vehicles to avoid congestion.
