People killed. January. 2002-2011

People seriously injured. January. 2002-2011

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

The corresponding figures for January 2010 were 394 accidents, in which 19 people were killed and 594 injured. A total of 27 of these were severely injured. The fatality figure was later adjusted to18. The average for January over the last 10 years is 20 fatalities and 62 seriously 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 37 per cent of the casualties reported in January 2011 belonged to this category. Some people registered in this category may be uninjured, and figures are subject to change.
