The average for October over the last 10 years is 77 severely injured and 20 fatalities. In October 2010, 46 persons were severely injured and 20 persons were killed. The fatality figures were later adjusted to 60 and 19 respectively.

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

145 killed so far this year

So far this year, 145 people have been killed in road traffic accidents. The corresponding figure for 2010 was 187, but the figure was later adjusted to 186. According to preliminary figures, 530 people have been severely injured in road traffic accidents so far this year, compared to 582 last year. Last year’s figure was later adjusted to 623.

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 20 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.
