19 people killed in road traffic accidents

People killed. January. 2000-2009

People injured. January. 2000-2009

Fourteen men and five women were killed in road traffic accidents last month. Ten were drivers of cars, seven were car passengers and two were pedestrians.

The corresponding figures for January 2008 were 559 accidents, in which 24 people were killed and 800 injured. A total of 68 of these were severely injured. The fatality figure was later adjusted to

22. The average for January over the last ten years is 22 fatalities and 849 injuries.

Police figures

The statistics are based on accidents reported to the police. Less severe accidents and injuries are often not reported to the police, and may therefore be underrepresented in the figures. The total number of injuries includes casualties where the degree of injury has not been specified. Around 28 per cent of the casualties reported in January 2009 belonged to this category. Some people registered in this category may be uninjured, and figures are subject to change.
