  "account": "During the All Saints' Day weekend in October, Spain recorded 13 deaths in 9 road accidents across 9 different locations. The majority of these fatalities occurred on intercity roads, with 5 of the victims being vulnerable users - pedestrians, motorcyclists, and bicyclists. Motorcyclist fatalities rose by 8 compared to the same month in 2025. The most dangerous roads for drivers were found to be conventional roads, with 7 out of 10 fatal accidents happening on these non-urban public roads. Wearing proper safety gear was a concern, as 10 victims were not wearing seat belts and 2 cyclists were not wearing helmets. The age groups of 55-64 and 45-54 saw an increase in fatalities compared to the same month in 2025, while the 15-24 age group saw a decrease. Andalusia had the highest number of deaths at 17, followed by Catalonia with 11. Cantabria, Navarre, the Basque Country, La Rioja, and Ceuta and Melilla had zero fatalities. The days with the most fatalities were October 25 and October 27.",
