An article in the Edmonton Journal advises that "Crashes in Edmonton region cost $900M a year".

The study for 2007 was commissioned by the Capital Region Intersection Safety Partnership. Gerry Shimko from Edmonton traffic safety is the chairman.

From the article, "The study looked at all crashes that resulted in death, injury or damage in Edmonton and the surrounding communities of Sherwood Park, St. Albert, Stony Plain, Spruce Grove, Fort Saskatchewan, Leduc and Devon."
"It counted 43 fatal crashes, 8,517 that resulted in injuries and 51,822 involving property damage."

Are we any closer to reducing preventable collisions, and the injuries which affect so many during the aftermath?

Safe driving...
