Deadly Long Weekend in Ontario

It proved to be a deadly weekend on Ontario's highways and waterways.

The Ontario Provincial Police concluded their Civic Holiday long weekend safety initiative midnight Monday.

A total of 12 people died on the roads, trails and waterways patrolled by O-P-P over the long weekend, including ten as the result of motor vehicle collisions and two deaths related to boating incidents.

During the 2008 Civic Holiday long weekend, four people died.

None of this year's deaths were in the Rainy River district.
