Automobile accidents were to blame for nearly half of all major injuries in Canada in 2001-02, according to a new study. The Canadian Institute for Health Information found that motor vehicle collisions accounted for 47 per cent of all major injuries during that time span. The institute's report found that men are twice as likely as women to be seriously injured in a collision. A research involved with the report suggested this is because men are more likely to engage in risky behaviours such as speeding and drinking and driving.
