Police report 27% fall in road deaths against same period last year

WACK 90.1 FM · NEWS | Published 5 November 2026 | News synthesis

Road deaths have fallen by 27 per cent compared with the same period last year, according to police figures presented at a briefing on 4 November. This is a year-to-date comparison, not a full-year total for 2026.

Acting Superintendent Kevin Martin of the Traffic and Highway Patrol Branch said stronger enforcement may have contributed. Speeding and driving under the influence remain leading causes of serious crashes. The published account does not specify the exact statistical cutoff, so it cannot establish a final annual death toll.
