A 10-year data trend analysis reveals 24 per cent of people killed on Ontario Provincial Police patrolled roads were not wearing a seat belt.

Of the 2,483 vehicle occupants who died in collisions between 2009 and 2018, 594 of them were not restrained in the vehicle

Lack of seat belt use has been a factor in 10 of the 47 deaths in road collisions so far in 2019

Drivers (versus passengers) account for 75% of the total number of seat belt-related deaths

Men between 25-64 years-old account for the highest number of seat belt-related deaths among all age groups

The OPP is conducting a provincial seat belt campaign over the Easter Long Weekend.
