Fewer fatalities in the February traffic

A total of 443 road traffic accidents were reported to the police in February 2009, according to preliminary figures. Nine people were killed and 685 injured in these accidents.

People injured. January-February. 2000-2009

People killed. January-February. 2000-2009

In February 2008, 19 persons were killed and 756 were injured in 503 road traffic accidents. The fatality figure was later adjusted to 17. The average for February over the last ten years is 17 fatalities and 798 injuries.

Killed or injured so far this year

The preliminary figures show that 28 persons have been killed and 1 465 have been injured in road traffic accidents so far this year. Of these 1 465 persons, 100 were severely injured. Comparative figures for January and February last year show 39 killed and 1 640 injured. 115 of these were severely injured. The average figures for the period 2000-2009 are 39 persons killed and 1 649 injured.

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 thus far in 2009 belonged to this category. Some people registered in this category may be uninjured, and figures are subject to change.
