In 2013, the Ontario Provincial Police investigated more than 8,400 collisions involving large commercial vehicles, with 68 of those collisions resulting in someone dying. In the previous year, they investigated over 13,000 commercial vehicle collisions and the number of fatal crashes in 2012 reached a five-year high at 99. On June 17th, the OPP is teaming up with the Ministry of Transportation (MTO) for Operation Corridor, an annual event to raise awareness among commercial vehicle drivers about safe operation and maintenance of transport trucks and other large commercial vehicles.
