HIBAPRESS – Mohamed Zerriouh
The coastal road in the Azemour commune, Nador province, witnessed a tragic and shocking accident on Tuesday night, resulting in the death of 15 goats at once.
This incident was not just an ordinary traffic event, but rather a clear manifestation of the significant risks facing users of this vital road section due to the absence of basic safety measures.
The tragedy occurred when a vehicle driver was surprised by a herd of goats crossing the road. The lack of public lighting and complete darkness prevented him from seeing them in time.
This situation led to a strong collision that caused widespread shock and considerable financial losses to the livestock owners, amidst real fears of similar accidents recurring that could claim human lives.
The coastal road in Nador province is a strategic artery connecting several areas and experiences heavy traffic. Despite its utmost importance, large parts of it completely lack public lighting.
This negligence leaves drivers and road users struggling with dark paths that expose them to the constant risk of collision with stray animals or sudden obstacles.
In light of this worrying situation, voices from the local population and road users have risen in widespread discontent, demanding immediate intervention from the responsible authorities.
Local stakeholders fear the continuation of this neglect, questioning when a radical solution will be found to this darkness that surrounds the road and makes every night journey an adventure with uncertain consequences.
Amidst these developments, the fundamental question remains strongly posed: When will the concerned authorities act to secure public lighting on the Azemour coastal road before a human catastrophe occurs? And who bears the actual responsibility for the continuation of this procrastination that threatens the safety and property of innocent citizens?
