Motor Vehicle Fatalities by Region

The number of Motor Vehicle fatalities in British Columbia by police traffic region and year. A motor vehicle fatality is a road user (driver, passenger, pedestrian, and cyclist) who is injured in a collision involving a motor vehicle on a 'public highway' as defined in the Motor Vehicle Act and the victim is deceased within 30 days of the collision as a result of their injuries. This data excludes fatal victims on roads where the Motor Vehicle Act does not apply (such as forest-service roads, industrial roads and private driveways); fatal victims of off-road snow mobile accidents; and homicides or suicides.
