Police report increase of 44 motor-vehicle incident fatalities, nearly 14,000 more collisions over 2021
Police are reporting an increase in the number of collisions and fatalities on Ontario roads between 2021 and 2022.
Ontario Provincial Police has released its annual traffic data, and while traffic volume was up in 2022 over 2021, “the increases in fatalities noted in the data should not be viewed or accepted as an inevitable outcome of more people out on roads,” the force stated in a news release. “By any measure, a life lost in a preventable collision or other traffic incident is one too many. The most important takeaway from the data is the need for every driver and passenger to eliminate all manner of risk, as this remains the most critical factor in preventing the senseless loss of life.
