MPI: Too many deaths on provincial roads
Number of fatalities exceeds those in 2015.
The Canadian Press on October 21, 2016
Manitoba Public Insurance is blaming high-risk driving behaviours for a growing number of deaths on provincial roads.
With two months left in 2016 road deaths already total more than the 2015 statistics.
MPI says 85 people have died in crashes on highways and city streets so far, up from 78 last year.
Impaired driving was the cause of 32 deaths, speed accounted for 16, and 11 Manitobans were killed driving without a seatbelt.
MPI says it will continue to focus on education to curb the deadly trend.
The Crown corporation says motorists should have a plan for a way home before heading out for a night of partying, pull over if you feel the need to text, obey speed limits and buckle up.
“This is about coming together as a community to say enough is enough,” Justice Minister Heather Stefanson said Thursday.
