Ontario Provincial Police are ramping up enforcement and education surrounding commercial motor vehicle safety.
OPP say there has been an upward trend in transport truck involved collisions in the province.
In 2022, the OPP responded to 9,110 collisions that involved a transport truck, marking the highest number of transport truck-related crashes on OPP-patrolled roads in more than 10 years.
The incidents, which accounted for 12% of overall collisions last year, resulted in 71 fatalities, the majority of which were preventable.
Improper lane changes, following too closely and speed were the top primary causes in the collisions, and not just on the part of the commercial drivers.
Of the more than 28-hundred charges laid in transport truck collisions last year, almost 11-hundred tickets were issued to passenger vehicle drivers.
