The preliminary figures show that 117 persons have been killed and 5 577 have been injured so far this year. Comparative figures for the same period last year were 162 killed and 6 339 injured The average figures for the period 2000-2009 are 148 persons killed and 6 421 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 24 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.
