Nine people died in motor vehicle crashes on the weekend.
The deceased included brothers who were driving motorcycles in Spot Valley, St. James.
The number of fatalities since January now stands at 288, compared with 319 for the corresponding period last year.
Vice President of the National Road Safety Council Dr. Lucien Jones said this represents a decline of 10 per cent.
Nevertheless, he maintained that the "carnage on the roads is troubling".
Five of those who died on the weekend were motorcyclists, he noted, adding that since the start of the year, 95 of those killed were motorcyclists.
