Seven of the fatalities took place on the Trans-Canada Highway, with the other eight on secondary roads and three were categorized as moose-vehicle collisions.
The RCMP in this province is reporting a decrease in the number of roadway fatalities in 2025. Police say fatal crashes and collisions were down by almost 50% last year to 15 and that’s nearly half what was recorded in each of the previous two years. Tragically, 16 people, including one pedestrian and two motorcyclists, lost their lives. Seven of the fatalities took place on the Trans-Canada Highway, with the other eight on secondary roads and three were categorized as moose-vehicle collisions.
Meanwhile, seatbelt use also showed improvement year-over-year. Last year, 18% of those lost in crashes and collisions (or three individuals) were not wearing seatbelts, compared to 58% in 2024.
