• Each year in Canada, almost 2,200 people are killed in road crashes and another 173,000 are injured.
• Alcohol, drugs, speeding, driver distraction, fatigue and failure to buckle up are key contributing factors of collision.
• Road safety is a shared responsibility and each of us can take action to make our roads safer.
• Road crash victims also include families, friends and colleagues – since they have to live with the loss or suffering of their loved ones forever.
