Preliminary statistics from SGI show 87 people lost their lives in road collisions in 2020 on Saskatchewan roads.  It’s the second-lowest number of road fatalities recorded in a single year in the past six decades. In 2019, 71 people were killed in vehicle crashes, which represented the lowest number of collision deaths ever recorded in Saskatchewan.

The 87 fatalities is also sharply lower than the previous 10-year average of 131.5 road fatalities per year from 2010-2019.

Minister Responsible for SGI Don Morgan says, “Nearly all fatal collisions are preventable; Saskatchewan roads have gotten significantly safer in the last few years, but we must not become complacent or satisfied with these improvements.”
