Highway Safety Northwest

Highways across northwestern Ontario are safer today than they were two years ago.

That's according to statistics released by the OPP.

Constable Shelley Garr says since 2007, they have seen a dramatic decrease in the number of accidents, fatalities and injuries on local roads.

The OPP says its traffic safety program, which has been cracking down on unsafe and aggressive drivers is paying dividends right across the province.
