Road accident statistics for the UK 2006

Accident statistics 2006 latest update

On 4th July 2007 The Department for Transport released a snapshot of relatively encouraging accident statistics for 2006. Compared to "averages" taken from a sample across the period 1994-1998, many casualty rates are substantially lower thanks to numerous government initiatives.

  •   MAIN TALKING POINTS

3,172 fatalities were recorded on Britain's roads in 2006, down from 3201 in 2005.

The number of people seriously injured fell to 28,390 only marginally lower than 28,954 recorded a year earlier.

Total casualties figures fell from 258,404, from 271,017 in 2005.

More from 2006 statistics

169 children were killed on the roads in 2006, 20% more than in 2005 - this was apparently due to 2005 being an exceptionally low figure (in 2004 for example the total number of child deaths was 166).

The total number of children killed or seriously injured fell by 9% to 3,294; There were 675 pedestrian deaths 1% more than 2005. Serious casualties (inc fatalities) fell by 1% to 7,051. The all inclusive pedestrian casualty figure fell by 7% to 30,982
