56 killed so far this year

A total of 56 persons have lost their lives on Norwegian roads so far this year. The comparative figure for last year was 77 fatalities, while the average figure for the period 2000-2009 is 73 fatalities. A total of 39 men and 17 women have lost their lives so far this year, compared to 66 and 11 respectively last year.

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 29 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.
