People all over the province are hitting the road for the long weekend and with added vehicles come more accidents.
Manitoba Public Insurance says the September long weekend usually has 800 collisions over the four days.
MPI is calling on everyone who uses the road this weekend to do their part in making it a safe and collision-free one.
They remind people to buckle up. People not using their seatbelts are 26 times more likely to be killed and two times more likely to be seriously injured in a collision than people using their seatbelt.
MPI wants to stress that it’s against the law to drive while impaired by both alcohol and drugs and that texting and driving is also not allowed.
