Traffic collisions are reported in the Traffic Accident Information System TAIS) only when the estimated repair costs for all vehicles and property exceed $5,000 or personal injuries are sustained, whereas a collision claim may occur for any amount of property damage over the applicable deductible. Private property and parking lot collisions, as well as deliberate acts of vandalism or natural causes, are also not recorded in TAIS. Effective Jan. 1, 2010, the damage threshold for recording property damage only collisions from SGI's claims system into TAIS was increased from $1,000 to $5,000. This change resulted in a significant decrease of property damage only collisions entered into TAIS. For consistency, this threshold change was also applied to previous years of data shown in this publication to allow for comparison.

3 Executive Offices Letter of Transmittal th Avenue Regina, SK CANADA, S4P 0J9 April 2014 To: Saskatchewan s Traffic Safety Community I am pleased to present to you the Saskatchewan Traffic Accident Facts report for Our report is based on SGI s Traffic Accident Information System TAIS), a database on motor vehicle collisions. It takes the team effort and commitment of law enforcement officers throughout Saskatchewan and SGI s group of claims adjusters to make this publication possible. Their complete, consistent and reliable reporting of motor vehicle crashes greatly enhances the report s integrity. They know first hand that too many people continue to be injured and lose their lives on our province s roads as a result of traffic collisions. They see the impact of traffic crashes on a daily basis. This report will assist you in making informed decisions about road safety moving forward. Please do not hesitate to contact SGI should you need any additional information. Yours truly, George Eguakun Manager, Traffic Safety Program Evaluation Traffic Safety Services i

5 Preface The Traffic Accident Information System TAIS) compiles information on traffic collisions occurring on Saskatchewan roads. Collisions involving bodily injury or death, a hit and run, an out-of-province vehicle, an unregistered vehicle, an impaired operator and collisions where vehicles have to be towed are reported through police agencies. A Motor Accident MVA) form is completed in accordance with Section 253 of The Traffic Safety Act and forwarded to Saskatchewan Government Insurance SGI). Information on all other types of collisions is collected through SGI s claims reporting process. Both data sources are combined to create TAIS. The collision database and its publications are administered by SGI. TAIS provides comprehensive collision data to many agencies for the design and evaluation of traffic safety programs. The importance of accurate and timely collision data is evident by such initiatives as Transport Canada s Road Safety Vision This was a national initiative to make Canada s roads the safest in the world. The strategic objectives of the plan were to raise public awareness of road safety issues; improve communication, co-operation and collaboration among road safety agencies; enhance enforcement measures and improve national road safety data quality and collection. The collection of traffic collision information is made possible by the efforts and dedication of law enforcement and SGI staff who investigate, report and record the information on TAIS. iii

7 2012 Summary The number of fatal collisions increased 11% over the past year, from 137 in 2011 to 152 in The number of personal injury collisions increased 7.7% over the past year, from 5,166 in 2011 to 5,563 in The highest number of fatal collisions occurred in June, July and August, while the highest number of injury collisions occurred in November and December. Friday was the most collision-prone day of the week. The most collision-prone period of time was the afternoon rush hour from 4 to 6 p.m. Collision rates were highest among drivers between the ages of 16 and 25. Driver inattention/distraction, inexperience/confusion and alcohol impairment were the most frequently identified human condition factors contributing to casualty collisions in Saskatchewan in Twenty-five per cent of fatal collisions and 61% of personal injury collisions occurred at intersections. Twenty-two per cent of pedestrians killed in traffic collisions in 2012 had consumed alcohol prior to the collisions. Thirty-nine per cent of fatal collisions and 8.1% of injury collisions involved a drinking driver. occupants who did not buckle up were 10 times more likely to be killed than those who wore a seatbelt. v

14 Historical Trends This section illustrates the 25-year history of collisions, victims, licensed drivers and vehicles in Saskatchewan. Reporting definitions must be considered when looking at past trends. Changes to the reporting thresholds have resulted in large declines in property damage only collisions during the years 1984, 1993 and The continued reduction in police resources available for traffic enforcement also had an effect on the number of property damage only collisions being reported. This is especially true for the reporting of wildlife collisions since The traffic accident reporting system was streamlined on Aug. 1, 2002, so that only collisions involving bodily injury, death, a hit and run, an out-of-province vehicle, an unregistered vehicle, an impaired operator and collisions where vehicles have to be towed are reported to police. Information on all other types of collisions that meet the reporting criteria for our traffic accident system are collected through SGI s claims reporting process. This change has freed up valuable enforcement resources that can be devoted to other high-priority issues. This change resulted in a 49.5% increase in the number of property damage only collisions captured by TAIS from 2003 to date as compared to the previous three-year average. Effective Jan. 1, 2010, the damage threshold for recording property damage only collisions from SGI's claims system into TAIS was increased from $1,000 to $5,000. This change resulted in a 40-50% decrease of property damage only collisions entered into TAIS. See the disclaimer on the back of the front cover. Trends in crashes resulting in fatalities and injuries have shown a steady decline since Fatal crashes peaked in 1986, while injury crashes peaked in The five-year averages for fatal and injury crashes are now 134 and 5,025 respectively, compared to 191 and 5,769 between 1983 and All collisions showed an upward trend from 2002 due to the change in reporting threshold. Data for recent years exhibit a fairly steady count of total collisions in the province. counts and the number of licensed drivers have been increasing since A complete listing of all the numbers used in the charts and changes in definitions can be found in Appendices A1.1 to A4.2. 2

22 Time of Occurrence Figures 2.1 to 2.3 show the frequency of 2012 traffic collisions, injuries and deaths compared to a three-year average. It is not unusual to see more fluctuations in the monthly averages in the smaller numbers, such as deaths, than the larger numbers of total collisions. Figures 2.4 and 2.5 show the collision ratio of travel versus collisions on provincial highways. The risk of being involved in a highway collision is highest on Fridays and around 3 a.m. Table 2.2 shows the number of collisions on public holidays and long weekends throughout the year, as well as on other specific periods of interest. Table 2.3 shows the number of collisions occurring by day of week and hour of occurrence on all road systems. The highest frequency of traffic collisions during 2012 occurred Friday afternoons between the hours of 4 and 6 p.m. 10

26 Major Contributing Factors Contributing factors are those circumstances or factors that have directly contributed to the collision or its severity. TAIS recognizes that a collision usually results from many causal factors. The collision data system accepts up to four contributing factors for each vehicle involved in a collision. Factors can be selected from four categories: human condition, human action, vehicle condition, and driving environment. In traffic collisions reported by police agencies, the causal factors are assigned by the investigating officer. Incidents reported through SGI s Dial-A-Claim are assigned causal factors only if they are clearly identified in the drivers statements. The causal factors in property damage only collisions are therefore much more subjective in nature and not directly comparable to previous years and casualty collisions. This section summarizes all contributing factors that were reported. In 2012, a total of 45,463 factors contributed to 30,226 collisions. The numbers in these figures represent the number of occurrences of each factor. Driver inattention and driver distraction account for 18.8% of all factors reported. SGI is aware of this fact and continues to work with a number of organizations to develop education and awareness programs to address this problem. Figure 3.1 shows that human condition is a more prevalent factor in fatal collisions 45%) than in all collisions 27%). Human condition and human action account for 62% of all factors in collisions, as compared to 83% of factors in fatal crashes. Figure 3.2 summarizes the factors by road system. Human factors contribute to 79% of urban collisions, while environmental conditions, mainly animal actions, are more prevalent in rural and highway collisions 59% and 65%).

34 Environmental Factors The driving environment consists of road, light and weather conditions, as well as events leading up to and during a collision. It is important to understand all of these factors to properly design effective countermeasures for reducing collisions. This section provides a breakdown of collisions for each of the different driving environments by severity and road system. Tables 4.1 to 4.3 and Table 4.8 show that most collisions occur under near ideal conditions, such as a dry surface 48%), clear weather 52%), daylight 57%) and on a straight/level stretch of road 72%). These numbers are higher than actually reported due to the fact that in many cases a condition is reported only if it was a factor in the collision. This is evident by the 30% of collisions where a weather condition is not stated. Tables 4.6 and 4.7 provide a breakdown of the types of collisions by single and multiple vehicle configurations. Single vehicle collisions account for 86.4% of the collisions on rural roads, 84.1% on provincial highways and 14.3% on urban streets. Table 4.9 and 4.10 describe some of the events that occur in collisions, such as hitting a fixed or movable object, overturning or jackknifing. 22

42 Driver Factors Driver factors captured for collisions include the driver s age and gender, traffic charges laid, human action contributing to the collision and the driver s licence class. The information gathered for drivers shows several indicators that help predict an individual s likelihood of causing a collision. These indicators are used to identify the characteristics of those drivers who are more likely to cause collisions, and to address the behaviours that increase their risk of collision. Driver Improvement Program SGI's Driver Improvement Program monitors the driving records of all Saskatchewan drivers and intervenes when an individual's record warrants it. The purpose of the program is to encourage drivers that are incurring convictions, or are involved in at-fault collisions, to develop and maintain safe driving habits. SGI uses a demerit system for tracking driver performance. SGI sends warning letters advising drivers of their deteriorating driving records. Drivers who, in spite of a warning, incur additional convictions or at-fault collisions are required to attend a defensive driving course. Further convictions or at-fault collisions may result in the driver being required to take driver improvement training. Subsequent convictions or at-fault collisions may result in licence restrictions or suspensions. Graduated Driver s Licensing Program SGI s Graduated Driver s Licensing GDL) program was implemented in September It was designed to improve road safety by exposing new drivers to incremental levels of risk as they gain more experience in the driving environment. There are three stages in the program: a nine-month Learner stage, a six-month Novice 1 stage and a 12-month Novice 2 stage. Program restrictions relax as drivers advance through these stages. Drivers in the Novice 2 stage must remain free of at-fault collisions, traffic convictions and suspensions in order to graduate to a full licence. An evaluation on the initial effects of the program was undertaken during the first cycle of the program. Results indicate that GDL drivers of all ages had an 18% reduction in at-fault crash risk. Program restrictions also appear to have a positive effect in reducing at-fault collisions, specifically among young drivers. Particularly, nighttime crash risk was reduced by 52% after the implementation of the program. Saskatchewan has a zero alcohol tolerance level for new drivers. Motorcycle Graduated Driver's Licensing Program In June 2011, Saskatchewan extended the GDL program to new motorcyclists. The program is intended to assist new riders in developing their skill and mitigate their risk of collision involvement. Similar to the GDL program, the Motorcycle Graduated Driver's Licensing MGDL) program is a staged program which allows new motorcycle riders to move on to incrementally more risky driving situations as they gain experience. MGDL consists of a 12- to 24-month Learner stage, a 12-month Novice 1 stage and a 12-month Novice 2 stage. 30

The relative risk of being involved in a collision is calculated by dividing the total collision rate for each age group by the average rate for all drivers e.g., for the 16 year age group /60.84 = 1.57).

54 Factors There were 49,977 vehicles involved in the 30,226 collisions during This is an average of 1.65 vehicles per collision. This section provides details on the different types of vehicles involved in collisions. Passenger cars accounted for 41.5% of vehicles in all collisions and 31.4% of the vehicles in fatal collisions. Pickup trucks accounted for 24.1% of vehicles in all collisions and 27.0% of vehicles in fatal collisions. Large trucks represented 2.7% of vehicles involved in all collisions and 13.1% of vehicles in fatal collisions. Research has shown that in 78% of fatal crashes involving a large truck, the action taken by the driver of the other vehicle was the major factor contributing to the collision. There were 298 crashes involving a motorcycle/moped/power cycle in These incidents resulted in 202 injuries and six deaths. Tables 6.6 to 6.8 show historical data on truck and motorcycle collisions. Similar breakdowns for other vehicle types are available upon request. Table 6.9 shows a breakdown of registrations by vehicle type.

60 Victims and Safety Restraints TAIS captures information on all passengers involved in injury collisions. This data can be used to calculate exposure rates for occupants by injury severity, age, seating position, gender and many other variables. Additional details, such as injury region of the body and injury treatment, are also available from TAIS. Figure 7.3 shows the relationship between the severity of injury to vehicle occupants and seatbelt use. The severity of injury is much lower for victims using safety restraints. Ninety-four per cent of those using safety restraints sustained minor, moderate or no recorded injuries. Those occupants not using safety restraints were severely or fatally injured 33.8% of the time, compared to 5.5% of the time for those using restraints. In September 2004, Transport Canada began conducting observational surveys of seatbelt use, alternating annually between rural and urban communities across Canada. The survey method was changed because of evidence indicating a lower usage rate in rural areas. The new usage rates are a combination of these urban and rural observations. The survey results for 2009 to 2010 report a national average of 95.3% and a rate of 96.8% in Saskatchewan. The complete results of the Canadian survey can be referenced in table 12.2 on page

80 Alcohol Drinking and driving remains one of the top contributing factors in fatal collisions in Saskatchewan. SGI continues to work on solutions to help resolve this important traffic safety issue. There are serious consequences for drinking and driving. Driver s licence suspension periods apply if a driver is convicted of driving with a blood alcohol level over.08, impaired driving or failure to provide a breath sample. In Saskatchewan, the first conviction of any of the above offences will result in a driver s licence suspension for a period of one year. A second offence results in a three-year licence suspension and any subsequent offence results in a five-year licence suspension. Fines for these offences start at $600, with no maximum. If a driver is at fault for a collision while driving impaired, they have no insurance coverage for damage to their vehicle or to the vehicles or property of others involved. Before a driver s licence can be reinstated, the driver must attend a mandatory addiction screening and assessment, and complete an education or recovery program recommended by their addictions counsellor. Drinking and driving offenders who have successfully completed their required addiction screening and all education or recovery programs may be eligible to participate in the Ignition Interlock Program. Administrative Sanctions New drivers who consume any amount of alcohol and drive receive a 30-day suspension, and must attend a Driving Without Impairment DWI) course for the first occurrence. Subsequent occurrences result in a 90-day suspension, mandatory addictions screening and an education or recovery program recommended by a drug and alcohol counsellor. These all must be completed before the driver s licence will be reinstated. Experienced drivers with a blood alcohol level over.04, or those refusing to take the Standardized Field Sobriety Test receive a 24-hour driver s licence suspension. A second 24- hour suspension is extended to a 15-day driver s licence suspension. The driver is also required to attend a DWI course if a second 24-hour suspension is incurred. Subsequent occurrences result in a 90-day suspension, addictions screening and a recommended education or recovery program. All drivers who are charged with a blood alcohol level exceeding.08 or refusing a breath test will be subject to a 90-day suspension. The individual receives an immediate 24-hour suspension and seven-day driving permit if the driver has a valid driver s licence. The 90-day administrative suspension begins after the expiry of the seven-day driving permit. 68

137 Other Provinces A new vision for improving road safety in Canada was approved in Canada s third national road safety strategy, which has a five-year time frame ), is somewhat different from its two predecessors. The strategy is similar in that it will retain long-term vision that Canada will have the safest roads in the world. As well, the four strategic objectives are expected to result in safer road users, safer road infrastructure and safer vehicles through: raising public awareness and commitment to road safety, improving communication, cooperation and collaboration among all stakeholders, enhancing enforcement, and improving road safety information in support of research and evaluation. A number of key elements contribute to the Road Safety Strategy 2015 s uniqueness. These key elements are: Flexibility: The strategy will be considerably more flexible than its predecessor. The strategy outlines the best practices and initiatives that jurisdictions will have the flexibility to adopt depending on their suitability, feasibility and acceptability within their respective operating environments. Each jurisdiction with develop and own their respective road safety plans. Holistic approach: The strategy will take a holistic approach to road safety and provide a coordinated plan which includes initiatives to address road users, infrastructure and vehicles. This acknowledges the interdependencies that exist between drivers, roads and vehicle safety design, and will move the Road Safety Strategy 2015 to more of a safe systems framework. Targets: Hard percentage targets will not be established at the national level; instead progress will be measured using rate-based measures. The road safety strategy will seek to achieve directional downward trends in fatalities and serious injuries throughout its five-year duration. Jurisdictions will continue to report fatalities and serious injuries to Transport Canada on an annual basis. Ownership: While the Canadian Council of Motor Transport Administrators CCMTA) led the development of the strategy and will manage it, each jurisdiction will own the strategy and will use a best practice framework to develop their own jurisdictional plans. CCMTA, working through the jurisdictions and its committees and task forces, will be responsible for updating the strategy. Given its fluid and proactive design, updates may include documenting progress made on new research projects undertaken, identifying new initiatives to be included in the multi-cell matrix of key target groups and 125

138 contributing factors, revising the framework of proven best practice initiatives and reporting on its progress. Timeframe: The strategy will have a shorter five-year timeframe and a mid-term evaluation of its success will be conducted in year three. It is expected the road safety strategy will inspire road safety stakeholders from all levels of government as well as key public and private sector stakeholders to work together towards the common goal of making Canada s roads the safest in the world.

This excludes events that are the result of deliberate intent, legal intervention or natural disasters. For example, if a vehicle catches fire due to mechanical failure and the driver is able to stop safely, a motor vehicle collision did not occur because control of the vehicle was never lost. Any motorized mechanically or electrically powered land vehicle not operated on rails.

An injury is defined as any bodily harm resulting from the collision. A motor vehicle collision resulting in death within 30 days to one or more involved persons. A person with a blood alcohol content exceeding the legal limit. A person that had consumed alcohol but has blood alcohol content less than the legal limit. Contributing factors are those circumstances or factors that have directly contributed to the collision or its severity. TAIS recognizes that a collision usually results from many causal factors. The collision data system accepts up to four contributing factors for each vehicle involved in a collision. Factors can be selected from four categories: human condition, human action, vehicle condition or driving environment. Due to differences in reporting definitions, the number of collisions and associated casualties published in this report do not necessarily reflect the collision and injury claims experience of the Saskatchewan Auto Fund. Traffic collisions are reported in the Traffic Accident Information System TAIS) only when personal injuries are sustained, police attend the accident or a property damage claim is above $5,000, whereas a collision claim may occur for any amount of property damage over the applicable deductible. Private property and parking lot collisions, as well as deliberate acts of vandalism or natural causes, are also not recorded in TAIS.
