16 people killed in road traffic accidents

In February 2012, 46 persons were severely injured in road traffic accidents, while 16 persons were killed according to preliminary figures. A total of 370 accidents were reported to the police.

Persons killed. January-February. 2002-2012

Persons seriously injured. January-February. 2002-2012

Ten men and six women were killed in road traffic accidents last month. Eleven were car drivers and five were car passengers.

The corresponding figures for February 2011 were 419 accidents, in which 12 people were killed and 32 persons were severely injured. The February average for the last 10 years is 15 killed and 53 severely 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 32 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.
