People killed. January. 2002-2012

Twelve men and five women were killed in road traffic accidents last month. Eight were car drivers, five were car passengers and four were pedestrians.

The corresponding figures for January 2011 were 351 accidents, in which 18 people were killed and 559 injured. A total of 32 of these were severely injured. The fatality figure was later adjusted to 17.

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 33 per cent of the casualties reported in January 2012 belonged to this category. Some people registered in this category may be uninjured, and figures are subject to change.
