Some drivers don’t seem to be getting the message about the importance of buckling up
OPP reporting over 1,300 people were charged for failing to wear a seat belt during its four-day seatbelt campaign over the Easter long weekend.
Police say despite efforts to make sure the roads remained safe for drivers over one of the busiest weekends of the year, four people lost their lives in two separate crashes and a fifth person died in an all-terrain vehicle incident, marking the first off-road fatality of the year.
OPP note 85 people have died on OPP patrolled roads so far this year, which marks a 60 percent increase in road deaths compared to the same time last year when there were 54 fatalities.
