Santiago: A total of 25 people were killed in traffic accidents during Chile’s annual “Fiestas Patrias” independence celebrations from Sept. 15 to 19, Chilean authorities reported Wednesday.

Eleven people died as a result of being run over, six from crashes, four from collisions and another four from overturning of vehicles, according to the report.
