Road accidents increased by 6.2% in the first eight months of 2026, driven mainly by a strong increase in cases in Tirana and Durrës, although August marked fewer accidents than the same month a year earlier.

There were 983 accidents recorded in the January-August period, up from 926 in the same period in 2025, according to data published by the Institute of Statistics. The number of people killed and injured reached 1,378, up from 1,306 a year earlier, an increase of about 5.5%.

Tirana made the biggest contribution to the increase. The capital recorded 369 accidents in the first eight months of the year, up from 270 in the same period in 2025, or about 37% more. The number of people killed and injured rose to 457 from 342.

An even stronger percentage increase was recorded in Durrës, where accidents increased to 98 from 62, about 58% more than a year earlier. Killed and injured people increased to 139 from 93. In Vlora, accidents increased to 92 from 79, while in Gjirokastra to 51 from 46.

The national increase hides large differences between regions. In Shkodra, the number of accidents fell to 45 from 75 in eight months, while in Korça it fell to 70 from 91. Lezha recorded 115 accidents, down from 126 a year earlier, while Fier recorded 75 from 78.

In August, the trend was reversed. There were 139 road accidents in the country, 12.6% fewer than the 159 accidents in August 2025. The number of people killed and injured fell to 191 from 229, or by about 16.6%.

INSTAT reported that 86.3% of August's accidents were due to driver behavior. The 25-34 age group had the highest share, with 31.7% of the total accidents recorded during the month.

According to the time distribution, Monday was the day with the highest number of accidents, with 18% of the total, while Wednesday and Friday had the lowest weight, with 11.5% each. The interval 19:00-24:00 resulted to be the most problematic, concentrating 20.1% of the accidents in August.

(According to INSTAT, last month's data on people who died from accidents is preliminary and may be revised).
