Ontario Provincial Police says motorcyclist fatalities are up 56% this year, nearly all of which are preventable. With 39 deaths so far, the OPP is turning to the skies to tackle the issue.
Their Cessna 206, part of the Aerial Enforcement Program, is now being used to track and monitor high-speed motorcyclists and other aggressive drivers.
The OPP say this aerial approach aims to curb dangerous behaviors and reduce fatalities.
The OPP urges all road users to drive safely and follow traffic laws to prevent further loss of life.
