Overview
- Provincial data show 61 traffic fatalities in 2025, including 38 motorcycle users, representing 62% of the total.
- Deaths rose 3% from 2024 as authorities conducted 30,328 vehicle checks—about 70% more than a year earlier—with alcohol-test positivity at 0.96% versus 1.28%.
- Victims were predominantly male (84%), with adults aged 21–40 accounting for 49% of deaths, and officials noted minors among motorcycle victims in interior areas.
- Most fatalities occurred in urban settings (62%), yet national routes were the deadliest by road type with 27 deaths, notably along Routes 38, 60, 64 and 157; Belén recorded 11 fatalities, the most by department.
- More than half of the year’s deaths fell between January and July, and investigations are complicated by multi-victim crashes and delayed in-hospital deaths, while regional figures from Salta highlight low helmet use in fatal motorcycle cases.
