29 lives lost on Ottawa roads this year: Police urge immediate action from all road users “Twenty-nine families have already experienced the heartbreak of losing a loved one on our roads this year. These tragedies are not inevitable. Many can be prevented when all road users make safe, responsible choices every time they travel through our community. We are asking everyone to slow down, stay focused and look out for one another before another life is lost.” – Sgt. Josh Callaghan, Road Safety Unit ottawapolice.ca/en/news/post… ~ 29 vies perdues sur les routes d’Ottawa cette année: on incite tous les usagers de la route à agir immédiatement « Vingt-neuf familles ont déjà vécu le chagrin de la perte d’un proche sur la route cette année. De telles tragédies ne sont pas inévitables. Plusieurs d’entre elles peuvent être prévenues si tous les usagers de la route font des choix sûrs et responsables lors de tous leurs déplacements à travers notre collectivité. Nous prions tout le monde de ralentir, de demeurer attentifs, et de veiller les uns sur les autres avant qu’une autre vie ne soit perdue », a déclaré le sergent Josh Callaghan de l’Unité de la sécurité routière. ottawapolice.ca/fr/nouvelles…
