Ottawa, Ontario — The Ontario Provincial Police reported there were nearly 14,000 more collisions in the province in 2022 than in 2021.
The provincial force said there were 74,173 collisions on Ontario roads in 2022. In 2021, the OPP reported 60,659 collisions.
There were 359 motor-vehicle fatalities in 2022, compared to 315 fatalities in 2021.
Traffic volume was up last year, compared to 2021 levels, but the OPP stressed that “the increases in fatalities noted in the data should not be viewed or accepted as an inevitable outcome of more people out on roads.”
