2012 Is A Deadly Year For ATV Crashes

8 people have been killed in ATV crashes around the Province so far this year, 6 of them involving alcohol and 5 people were not wearing a helmet.

It's the highest level for deaths on ATV's in RCMP territory in four years.
Staff Sgt. Stephane Caron tells CHSJ News these are not accidents adding most of these deaths were totally preventable tragedies.

He suggests ATV riders put on a helmet because it can save your life and if you're drinking, don't drive.
Last year 8 people died in ATV crashes in RCMP areas, five in 2010 and five died in 2009.
