Reported number of collisions
This publication incorporates revisions to figures for fatal collisions for 2019-2023. More information can be found in the Supporting Information section of this publication.
Figure 1 shows the long-term trend for injury road collisions recorded by the police.
In 2024, there were 4,064 collisions in which someone was killed or injured. This was 5% lower than in 2023 and the third lowest number since records began. There were 145 fatal collisions in 2024, two more than 2023, there were 1,644 serious injury collisions; and 2,273 slight injury collisions.
Note for Figure 1: Due to changes in the way casualty severity is recorded, figures for the number of serious and slight collisions are not comparable with years prior to 2004.
