Police: 185 die in Iran road accidents during Nowruz holidays

The commander of Iran's traffic police says 185 people have died in road accidents since the start of Nowruz holidays on March 15.

Colonel Ahmad Karami added that 5,424 people have also been injured with the number of accidents standing at 21,293. These include both urban and inter-urban incidents.

Millions of Iranians go on Nowruz trips inside the country during the New Year holidays, which shoots up the number of road crashes nationwide.
