There are renewed calls for safety upgrades to Ontario Highway 10 following a devastating week of crashes on the road.
Last week, three fatal collisions in four days closed sections of Highway 10 in Peel Region and Dufferin County.
Chief Superintendent Dwight Peer with Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) Central Region says the number of crashes his officers have dealt with across their area has increased significantly in 2022
collisions have increased 55 per cent,” Peer said in a Nov. 7 update on social media.
“Just in the last 10 days since Oct. 28, officers in Central Region have investigated 11 serious roadway collisions, eight of which have been fatal.”
Three of those eight fatal collisions were on Ontario Highway 10, including a three-vehicle crash between 10th and 15th Sideroads north of Orangeville, Ontario, in Dufferin County, which killed a 59-year-old man on Halloween.
Two days later, on Nov. 2, a male driver was killed in a two-vehicle crash between a sedan and transport truck on Highway 10 near Boston Mills Road in Caledon.
The next day, another driver was killed following a two-vehicle crash involving a passenger car and commercial vehicle on Highway 10 near Beechgrove Sideroad in Caledon.
