Clarifications

  • A previous version of this story said 2015 is so far the deadliest year on P.E.I. highways of the past nine years. The total of 21 deaths on the roads includes three that were not due to driving-related causes. The province was able to confirm three deaths of that nature in 2015, but was not able to provide comparable numbers for previous years.
