Police figures

The statistics are based on accidents reported to the police. Less severe accidents and injuries are therefore under-represented in the figures. In addition, the total number of injuries includes casualties where the degree of injury has not been specified. Future figures may prove that there was no injury.

The figures for 2004 that are used for comparative purposes in this text are preliminary. The 2004 figures presented in tables 1-10 are final.
