Unfortunately, the increased volume also leads to an increase in fatal motor vehicle accidents. Last summer, 363 people died in motor vehicle accidents in areas of the province patrolled by the Ontario Provincial Police. The ma­ jor contributing factors in those accidents were excessive speed, alcohol and failure to wear seat belts. Approximately 25 per cent of motorists killed were ejected from their vehicles. “Without a doubt, seat belts save lives. It is our duty to protect the driving public by ensuring proper use of seat belts and child restraints,” said Insp. Bill Wick- lund, OPP traffic and marine section.
