36 die on Spanish roads over Easter

Spain’s DGT traffic authority reported that there were a total of 36 deaths on Spanish roads over the Easter break.

The figure, which accounts for the period from March 18 at 3pm until the end of Easter Sunday, is up 11 on figures registered last year.

With parts of Spain still on public holidays, the final death toll for one of the busiest weekends on Spanish roads will not be known until tonight.

Over 8.7 million journeys were made over the holiday weekend.
