The OPP is kicking off National Canada Road Safety Week by urging drivers to be cautious on the roads.
Since January 1st, 2021, the OPP has reported 76 deaths due to vehicle crashes.
A significant amount of those deaths are due to speeding, not using a seatbelt, and aggressive, distracted or impaired driving.
OPP Chief Superintendent Rohan Thompson says it's vital for motorists not to engage in risky behavior on the road.
"The number of innocent people killed every year on our roads because of dangerous, careless driving is staggering. As a driver, every person travelling with, or around you stands to pay the price for the risks you take behind the wheel. So do their families. How you drive is not just your business, it's everyone's business. Please drive safely and ensure everyone buckles up."
