WEAR YOUR SEATBELTS!!!!

This morning, an unidentified man rolled his truck on an on-ramp from the 400 southbound to the 407 west and was ejected from his vehicle because he was not wearing his seatbelts. OPP reconstructionists are saying after early investigation results that the driver would have lived had he been wearing his seatbelt.

People, does it have to happen to a neighbour, a friend or a direct family member before you get it into your thick skulls that seatbelts save lives? Too many innocent lives are being lost simply for the ignorance or absentmindedness associated with not wearing the safety devices. Don't let it happen to you or anyone you know.

In a separate incident, an OPP cruiser was on its way to a domestic dispute call when, in the fog near Bala, ON, they hit a moose. The driver was killed and the passenger was injured and taken to the hospital. No word on the moose but the picture of the vehicle shows damage that is consistent with someone slamming into a brick wall.
