N.L. group says province needs more measures to combat moose-vehicle collisions

<p>ST. JOHN’S, N.L. – A lobby group wants the Newfoundland and Labrador government to do more than keep track of the location of moose-vehicle accidents.</p> <p>The province announced this week that they will soon start using a global positioning system to track where and when highway accidents occur.</p> <p>Eugene Nippard of the Save Our People Action Committee says while any initiative to better understand moose-vehicle accidents is a good thing, information on where they occur is already available.</p> <p>Nippard says there are other things that could be done including more safety fencing, an emergency number to call to report moose accidents and better lighting on highways.</p> <p>Moose-vehicle collisions are the subject of a class action lawsuit brought by St. John’s lawyer Ches Crosbie.</p> <p>The case will be in court in early June.
