ICBC says there were 24 fatal crashes throughout the Lower Mainland in 2020, while there were 40,000 injured victims out of 65,000 incidents in 2021.
A fatal victim refers to a road user who died within 30 days after the date an injury was sustained in a crash involving at least one motor vehicle, the provincial agency states.
Fatalities also exclude roads where the motor vehicle act does not apply, such as forest-service roads, industrial roads and private driveways.
