(WASAGA BEACH, ON.) – Recently the members of the Huronia West Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police received motor vehicle collision (MVC) data analyses that showed a 100% increase in MVCs between July 2014 (15 MVCs) and August 2014 (30 MVCs) in the Town of Wasaga Beach.
This data also identified 2 major roadways that almost 2/3 of the collisions occurred on. These were: River Road West between River Bend Plaza and Main Street and Mosley Street between River Bend Plaza and 45th Street.
As a result of this data Huronia West OPP members will be out on these streets focusing on behaviour by motorists that lead to collisions.
This increase was the second highest number of MVCs in a one month period since the snow storms of January 2014.
