total of 1520 died in singlecar crashes said James Snow trans sport ation and communications minister Given these kind of figures one can only come to the conclusion that far too many drivers dont take their driving very seriously There were 213689 accidents in the province with cost to vehicle owners of almost $225 million There was total of 18m fatalities including drivers passengers bicyclists pedestrians and motorcyclists Al Alt ISI tooo Simeoe ounty had 5823 ac cidents last year 72 which iii volved deaths There were 1852 personal injury accidents and 3899 property damage aclt

cars while they had their seat belts on but 463 people died inside cars equip ped with seat belts that were not in use at the time of the ac cident Lower speed limits and the cntorccmcnt of seat belt laws should cut down on the number of people killed in car accidents this year in Ontario lairie had 812 accidents last year in which four people were killed and injured Toll down this year Kliiie
