Province Defends Road Safety Record

The provincial government is defending its road safety record, despite a recent rash of highway fatalities in northern Ontario.

There have been at least seven deaths in the past week, including the two killed in an accident east of Fort Frances Monday.

Speaking at Queen's Park, Transportation Minister Glen Murray says they are doing their best to improve winter highway safety by hiring additional maintenance crews.


The exact reason for Monday's night's accident is still under investigation.
