Notes

The data come from the Department for Transport's Road Accidents tool. Since 2016, changes in severity reporting systems for a large number of police forces mean that serious injury figures, and to a lesser extent slight injury, are not comparable with earlier years. More details on severity adjustments and changes in reporting systems can be found in the severity adjustments background notes.

This includes data on road accidents reported to the police where at least one person is injured. There can be several people injured (casualties) in one accident.
