According to a report from Manitoba Public Insurance impaired driving was accountable for almost half of all deaths on Manitoba’s roadways last year.

A total of 71 people were killed in auto related crashes in 2018 and 42 percent of those deaths were due to impaired driving from both drugs and alcohol.

MPI is putting out a call to make 2019 one of the safest years on our roads and they are committed to reducing injuries and deaths on the roadways.

This can be done with public awareness, education, and by having drivers change their driving habits and behaviors.
