The stats for Alberta drivers, accidents, collisions, injuries and deaths are now available.
From the government stats website: Alberta Transportation
Alberta Transportation collects and publishes collision, vehicle registration and licensed driver statistics.
Collision Statistics
Collision statistics provide an overview of the "who", "what", "when", "where", "why" and "how" of traffic collisions that occurred in Alberta on a yearly basis.
Legislation in Alberta requires a traffic collision be immediately reported to the police if it results in death, injury or property damage of $1000 or more. A collision report form is completed and data is then collected from these collision forms.
