There were two more fatal crashes on Ottawa’s roads last night. Over the past week, 4 people have lost their lives, bringing the number of traffic-related fatalities this year to 32. In 2025, that tragic total was 23. It’s gotten to the point where Ottawa Police has issued a public appeal – encouraging commuters in all situations to be safe and to avoid distractions. Kristy Cameron chats with Sgt. Josh Callaghan, who works with the Ottawa Police Service’s Road Safety Unit. Meantime, it’s the final week of the municipal election campaign, as mayoral candidates make their final pitches to voters.
