10 killed and 59 severely injured in May

In May 2011, 59 persons were severely injured, while 10 persons were killed in road traffic accidents, according to preliminary figures.

Persons seriously injured. January-May 2002-2011

Persons killed. January-May 2002-2011

The average for May over the last 10 years is 84 severely injured and 20 fatalities. In May 2010, 65 persons were severely injured and 10 persons were killed. The fatality figure was later adjusted to 70 severely injured.

Of the fatalities last month, four were car drivers, two were car passengers, one was a motorcyclist, one was a cyclist and two 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 27 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.
