According to the latest statistics released by the Traffic Police Division of Da Nang Police Department, no road traffic accidents were reported in the city during the 3-day New Year holiday break from 1 - 3 January. 

Over the same period last year, a total of 3 road traffic accidents had been recorded in the city, and these had resulted in 3 deaths and 2 injuries.
