Saskatchewan is full of quiet rural roads with little traffic. Some days the odds of seeing another vehicle, let alone colliding with it, are remote at best.

Consider this: The majority of fatal crashes where occupants are unbuckled are single vehicle collisions, especially rollovers.

When a vehicle rolls, unbelted occupants are violently tossed around like rag dolls and are often ejected through a window. The results can range from severe lacerations to paralysis and even death.

No matter where you drive, remember that your best defense against injury or death is to buckle up every time you’re in a vehicle. No exceptions.
