Did you know...motor vehicle collisions are the single leading cause of death and a leading cause of injury to the youth of this province? Every year in Alberta, approximately 400 people are killed and approximately 25,000 suffer injuries as a result of traffic collisions. As a society we suffer incredible economic and social burden when a teen becomes injured or loses his/her life. These deaths and injuries are not accidents. They are predictable and preventable.
