Preventable road deaths remain high: OPP
A total of 1,507 people died in
road deaths on OPP-patrolled roads
between 2011 and 2015 and the vast
majority of thse deaths were
preventable, according to a five-year
report just released by the Ontario
Provincial Police (OPP).
Over the five-year period, the data
revealed that:
• Alcohol and/or drugs were a
factor in 321 of the deaths
• Speeding was a factor in 336 of
the deaths
• Inattentive driving was a factor
in 408 of the deaths
• Failure to wear a seatbelt was a
factor in 335 of the deaths.
As families travelled over the
Thanksgiving long weekend, the
OPP planned and collaborated with
its policing partners for the national
Operation Impact campaign.
Operation Impact is an annual
traffic safety initiative during which
Canadian police partners target the
four main behaviours that continue
to cost the significant loss of life on
roads every year. These are road
deaths in which alcohol/drugs,
speed, inattentive driving and lack of
seatbelt use are factors.
"Tragically, most of these
fatalities are directly linked to poor
behaviours on the road and these are
the ones that are preventable. Road
safety is a collective effort. We need
to see a complete shift in attitude on
the part of drivers who do not take
these risky behaviours seriously.
Passengers also have a role to play
by buckling up every single time and
dissuading drivers who engage in
these dangerous behaviours and
jeopardize their safety," said OPP
Deputy Commissioner Brad Blair,
Provincial Commander, Traffic
Safety and Operational Support.
