It is turning out to be another deadly year on our highways.  As of June 5th, 28 fatal vehicle collisions have been recorded resulting in 30 deaths.  R.C.M.P. Senior Collision Analyst Wayne Blackmore says we're on pace with last year's total.  A total of 68 fatal accidents were recorded resulting in 92 deaths.  Blackmore says over half of this year's accident victims were not wearing seat belts.  He says a significant number of those fatal accidents involved single vehicle roll overs where people were ejected from the vehicle.
