Pointless highway deaths can be avoided: OPP
- The Ontario Provincial Police reported that 382 road users died in 344 fatal collisions on OPP-patrolled roads in 2024.
- The majority of fatalities were caused by risky and negligent behaviors, such as speeding, distracted driving, and impairment, occurring both among drivers and passengers.
- Additional fatalities included 57 motorcyclists—the highest in 20 years—35 pedestrians, 12 cyclists, and 60 unbuckled drivers or passengers, some of whom treated seatbelt use as a personal choice.
- From May 13 to 19, 2025, the OPP will collaborate with national partners to participate in an extensive campaign focused on traffic enforcement and raising public awareness during Canada Road Safety Week.
- This campaign aims to reduce preventable road deaths by urging all users to avoid risky decisions and help ensure safe travel for everyone.
