Increase in number of injuries

The preliminary figures show that a total of 5 584 people have been injured in Norwegian road traffic so far in 2007. The comparative figure for 2006 was 4 987 injured, while the average for the period 1998-2007 is 5 281 injured in the first six months of the year.

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.
