OPP Say Speed Related Deaths Up More than Double from Last Year

Highway deaths, where speed was a causal factor, have doubled in 2014 compared to the same time last year according to the Ontario Provincial Police. Of the 113 people who have been killed on OPP-patrolled roads so far this year (as of June 15, 2014), speed was a factor in 33 of those deaths. Distracted driving is in second place at 24 fatalities and impaired driving related deaths are at 12. With the Canada Day weekend approaching, the OPP is reminding all drivers who will be travelling on Ontario roads, waterways and trails that they have the ability to make it an incident-free weekend.
