In the first two months of this year, five people were killed on public roadways here in Manitoba which is significantly lower than the same time frame in 2018 where thirteen people were killed.

That’s according to a new report released by Manitoba Public Insurance last week. Last year, during the first two months there were three fatalities involving off road vehicles in the province but so far this year there have been no fatal off road vehicle accidents in Manitoba.

Manitoba Public Insurance states that every Manitoban has the power to bring the fatality count down to zero by changing how we think of road safety, the way we drive, and the decisions we make behind the wheel.
