OPP Out in Increased Presence for Long Weekend

With the long weekend now here to kick off the near end of summer, OPP are counting on everyone to do their part and ensure a safe Labour Day weekend.

Officers will be out in increased presence to enforce traffic laws on the roads, trails and on the water.

At the end of August, a total of 176 people have died in 166 fatal collisions on OPP patrolled roads.

Many collisions were preventable and a cause of poor driving.

Of the fatalities, 47 were from excessive speed, 33 from inattentive driving, 29 from lack of seatbelts with alcohol and/or drugs with 23 deaths this year.
