Within days, two serious traffic accidents involving motorcycles claimed three lives on national roads RN1 and RN2. In both cases, motorcycles violently struck the rear of heavy vehicles stopped on the roadway or roadside, raising questions about signaling of broken-down vehicles and driver behavior. The latest tragedy occurred on the evening of July 17, around 9 p.m., at kilometer 21+800 on RN1, in Ambohidranomanga, in the municipality of Ambatomirahavavy. A Yamaha C2 scooter carrying two people was heading toward Imerintsiatosika when it violently hit the rear of a Mercedes 911 truck parked on the shoulder. From the force of the impact, the motorcycle driver, 37 years old, died instantly, while his passenger, 24 years old, was seriously injured. According to initial witness accounts, several factors contributed to the accident. The stationary truck had not been properly signaled according to regulations, with the driver using branches and grass instead of a warning triangle. Additionally, the motorcyclist had consumed alcohol while celebrating his birthday that same day. The violence of the crash also suggests the scooter was traveling at high speed at the moment of collision. Two days earlier, on the night of July 15 around 10:30 p.m., a similar accident occurred at kilometer 19 on RN2, in Mahia, municipality of Ambohimalaza. A Jog-type motorcycle heading toward Ambatokely Ambanintsena struck the left rear of a Hino truck stopped on the road. Both occupants of the motorcycle, aged 29 and 27 respectively, died at the scene from their injuries. The investigation conducted by gendarmes revealed the heavy vehicle was stopped without adequate warning devices. Investigations also revealed excessive speed of the motorcycle, failure to wear helmets, and alcohol consumption by both victims, elements confirmed by medical findings. The truck driver was placed under surveillance as part of the procedure, and the vehicle was seized for investigation purposes. These two tragedies present striking similarities: heavy vehicles insufficiently signaled, motorcycle drivers who had consumed alcohol, and according to findings, speeds inappropriate for traffic conditions. Facing the resurgence of such accidents, gendarmes remind the public of the importance of respecting road safety rules, particularly the prohibition on driving after drinking, wearing helmets, and the obligation to properly signal any broken-down or immobilized vehicle on public roads. Each year, such negligence continues to cost lives on Madagascar's roads.
