DISTRACTED DRIVING CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH

(Smiths Falls, Ontario) – The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP), Eastern Region would like to remind everyone that safety is everyone’s responsibility.

In 2010, the OPP in East Region investigated 32 fatal crashes between January 1 and August 30. As a result, 33 people died; 10 for not wearing a seatbelt properly, 4 from being ejected from the vehicle and 2 from alcohol consumption.

In 2011, between January 1 and August 30, 38 people have died in 35 fatal crashes; ten (10) can be attributed to improper seatbelt usage resulting in 6 people being ejected and 6 collisions where alcohol consumption was a factor.

Distracted driving is a major factor in many of these collisions.  Drivers need to PAY ATTENTION!

The last long weekend of summer is upon us and drivers can expect heavily congested roadways as parents and students get ready to return to school. Only you can ensure your safety and the safety of your loved ones. Focus on driving!

Be responsible, drive safe and follow good safety practices.

“We will continue to enforce the law on our highways,” said Inspector Chris Lungstrass, Manager, Traffic and Marine Eastern Region. “Education and enforcement are key components, but only you can prevent unnecessary death and injuries.”
