## Resource

Alberta’s roads are in crisis as traffic fatalities surge to a ten-year high, with 192 deaths already logged by August 31—up from 144 last year. If current trends continue, 2026 could shatter records with over 270 deaths by December. RCMP warn fall and winter pose the greatest risk due to darkness, ice, and wildlife. Most crashes are preventable: impaired, distracted, or reckless driving. Injuries have also jumped 24%, fueled by speeding and handheld device use. Officers are cracking down on violations, urging drivers to slow down, buckle up, stay sober, and report dangerous behavior.
