Decline in road deaths levelling off
'','The decline in the
number of road -related
deaths is beginning to
level off," Minister of
Transportation and
Communications James
Snow said recently.
"The 1978 figures,
including pedestrian
fatalities, show that 1,450
people died in 186,363
accidents through 1978.
That's an increase of 2.1
p_ercent.&ver..the .previous
year when . 1,420 were
killed."
Snow said the number
of drivers killed in motor
vehicle crashes last year
increased from 609 in 1977
'to 623 in 1978, up 2.3
percent. In all, 46,593
drivers were injured
compared to 45,620 in
1977.
Passenger deaths and
injuries, however, were
down slightly. In 1978,
there were 10 fewer
passengers killed and 276
fewer passengers in-
jured, compared to the
previous year.
Snow 'said he was
disappointed in the
overall increase in
fatalities, even though
it's the. second lowest
total since 1962.
And he added that he
hoped motorists would
continue to respect
Ontario's seat belt law,
lower speed limits, and
pay close attention to
their driving habits.
"That's the only way
we'll continue to see a
declining death rate on
Ontario roads," he said.
"This ministry has..
introduced a wide variety
of traffic safety measures
over the last few years,"
he said. "Now it's up to
the drivers to assume
responsibility for their
driving habits."
."Driver inattention is
one of the main causes of
.highway _accidents__And
failure- to -pay attention -
when behind the wheel of
wear or truck only leads
to tragedies on our
roads."
Snow said the total
number of people injured
in highway mishaps was
down slightly last year,
dropping from 95,664-- in
1977 to 94,979.
There was also a 14.7
percent drop in the total
number of highway ac-
cidents across the
province, "primarily the
result of an increase in
the reporting criterion for
'property damage only'
accidents from $200 to
$400".
"Although non-fatal
injury accidents were
down 1.8 percent last
year," he explained,
"fatal accidents were up
4.1 percent, increasing
from 1,213 in 1977 to
1,263."
The Minister also
expressed concern about
a 12.7 percent increase M.
the number of pedestrian
fatalities in 1978.
Altogether, 284
pedestrians were killed
. last .year, compared to
252 in 1977.
"We • have not yet
completed our analysis of
pedestrian fatalities," he
said. "But if 1977 figures
are any indication,
pedestrians themselves
must take a large share
of the responsibility for
the incr-e-a-se-:..
"Ofthe--252-pedestrians
killed in 1977, almost 30'
percent had ' been
drinking, 19 percent died
after running recklessly
into the roadway, 25
percent tried to cross
through moving traffic,
and 12 percent were,
fatally • in -jure d.- ...whi-I-e-
walking with the traffic,
instead of against it.'"
Snow said he was
pleased, however, with
an overall drop in the
number of motorcycle
deaths and injuries.
Altogether, 80
motorcycle drivers were
killed, 3,453 injured in
1978 - a drop of 9.1 percent
and 3.9 percent,
respectively. •-Although
the number of motorcycle
passenger fatalities
remained at 17 for both
years, injuries were down
13.6 percent, from 807 in
1977 to 697.
Bicycle fatalities were
up 4.2 percent, but there
were 322 fewer cyclists
injured compared to'1977.
