PANAMA’S   BLOODY highway death roll added its 157th  victim  in 114 days  on Saturday  April 23 when an 86-year-old man was struck by a sedan in  Chame.

Fifty four of the deaths were pedestrians including 10 hit and run.

If the carnage continues Panama is on track to surpass its highest annual total of 456, plus  hundreds of injuries, including permanent disabilities.

The same morning there were three accidents  in half an  hour, two  in Centenarrio and one in Howard involving a pirate bus, all with drivers losing control and  sending people to Santo Tomas Hospital.
