-- BEIJING, Oct 7 (Reuters) -- Traffic accidents killed 1,171 people during China's week-long National Day holiday that ended on Sunday, a drop of 43 percent from last year, Xinhua news agency reported.
Only one of the 3,635 traffic accidents logged by Sunday evening -- 50 percent fewer than last year -- killed more than 10 people, Xinhua quoted the Ministry of Public Security as saying.
China's roads are the deadliest in the world. Nearly 90,000 people died in traffic accidents last year.
