New stats released by Ontario Provincial Police revealed that 2022 was the worst year in more than a decade for transport truck crashes on highways
Truckers in Ontario were doing more than just honking their horns in 2022. New statistics released by Ontario Provincial Police this week revealed that last year was the worst year in more than a decade for transport truck crashes on Ontario highways patrolled by the OPP.
In 2022, the OPP responded to 9,110 collisions that involved a transport truck, marking the highest number of transport truck-related crashes on OPP-patrolled roads in more than 10 years, said a release from OPP headquarters in Orillia. Among some of the primary causes for collisions, said the OPP, were improper lane changes, following too closely and speeding. Police said this was not just the sins of truckers.
"The data serves as a reminder to all drivers of the importance of sharing the road safely when travelling in and around large commercial vehicles. These collisions not only result in significant fatalities, injuries and property damage every year, they often cause lengthy traffic delays and disruptions in the movement of goods that support our economy," said the release.
