Accidents Decrease in May Says Manitoba Official
In May Manitoba saw traffic fatalities fall 37 percent and injuries drop 10 percent from the five year May average. R B Baillie, Director of Traffic Safety and Province Taxation, cited 3 deaths and 131 injuries in May this year. He noted a flood may contribute but a broader trend toward cautious driving and walking is emerging as more cars fill roads. The government’s education and enforcement drive led to 161 licenses suspended in May for irresponsible driving. While total injuries for January–May rose 10 percent year over year, officials urged universal safety practices to reach the goal of minimal road tolls.
