In the first four days of August, Albania experienced a surge of serious road accidents across several highways, resulting in multiple fatalities and dozens of injuries. Notable deaths included Aleks Ukë, who died at the Trauma Hospital in Tirana after a severe crash on the Fushë Arrëz–Bajram Curri road near Porav, a 50‑year‑old man killed on the Lezhë–Milot road, and 20‑year‑old van driver Antonio Mateli who died following a crash near Ksamil.
