Persons seriously injured. March. 2001-2010

The average for March over the last 10 years is 56 severely injured and 16 fatalities. In March 2009, 36 persons were severely injured and 11 persons were killed in 437 accidents.

Twelve men and four women were killed in road traffic accidents last month. Seven were drivers of cars, three were car passengers and six were pedestrians.

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 30 per cent of the casualties reported so far this year belonged to this category. Some people registered in this category may be uninjured, and figures are subject to change.
