In Latvia, during the last 24 hours, a total of 126 traffic accidents were reported, of which nine resulted in injuries. Among the injured were two pedestrians and four cyclists. These incidents highlight ongoing concerns regarding road safety in the country, as traffic-related injuries continue to occur. Furthermore, the national police reported that 11 drivers were arrested for driving under the influence, with nine of these arrests being made due to alcohol impairment, and four for drug influence.

In addition to the injuries and arrests, the police enforced speed limits and issued fines to 204 drivers for exceeding the allowed speeds. Aggressive driving also remains a concern, with two drivers being penalized for aggressive driving behavior in the Zemgale region.
