ICBC and police forces in B.C. launch annual CounterAttack holiday road checks tomorrow night

BY , Nov 26, 2020 10:31 PM - REPORT AN ERROR

COVID-19 has changed a lot of things this holiday season but it hasn't changed the need to keep drinking drivers off the road.

The Insurance Corporation of BC, RCMP detachments and municipal police forces around the province launch annual CounterAttack holiday road checks tomorrow night, continuing through December and into the new year.

ICBC says an average of 67 people die in BC annually because of impaired driving, with the highest number in the southern Interior where an average of 23 people are killed by drunk drivers.

Statistics from ICBC show an average of 17 people are involved in fatal impaired driving crashes annually on the Lower Mainland and across north-central BC, while the average dips to 11 deaths on Vancouver Island.
