Overview:

Information on location and characteristics of crashes in Queensland for all reported Road Traffic Crashes occurred from 1 January 2001 to 30 June 2024.

Fatal, Hospitalisation, Medical treatment and Minor injury:

This dataset contains information on crashes reported to the police which resulted from the movement of at least 1 road vehicle on a road or road related area. Crashes listed in this resource have occurred on a public road and meet one of the following criteria:

• a person is killed or injured, or
• at least 1 vehicle was towed away, or
• the value of the property damage meets the appropriate criteria listed below.

Property damage:

1. $2500 or more damage to property other than vehicles (after 1 December 1999)
2. $2500 or more damage to vehicle and/or other property (after 1 December 1991 and before 1 December 1999)
3. value of property damage is greater than $1000 (before December 1991).

Please note:

• This data has been extracted from the Queensland Road Crash Database.
• Information held in the Road Crash Database on events occurring within the last 12 months is considered preliminary as investigations into crashes can take up to 1 year to finalise.
• Property damage only crashes ceased to be reported/recorded by Queensland Police Service after 31 December 2010.
• These crash location coordinates reference the current Australian geodetic datum is GDA2020 (previously it was GDA94).

Australia Road Fatalities: Per One Million Vehicle-km data was reported at 4.950 Ratio in 2022. This records an increase from the previous number of 4.559 Ratio for 2021. Australia Road Fatalities: Per One Million Vehicle-km data is updated yearly, averaging 6.141 Ratio from Dec 1995 (Median) to 2022, with 26 observations. The data reached an all-time high of 12.113 Ratio in 1995 and a record low of 4.403 Ratio in 2018. Australia Road Fatalities: Per One Million Vehicle-km data remains active status in CEIC and is reported by Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development. The data is categorized under Global Database’s Australia – Table AU.OECD.ITF: Road Traffic and Road Accident Fatalities: OECD Member: Annual. [COVERAGE] ROAD FATALITIES A road fatality is any person killed immediately or dying within 30 days as a result of an injury accident, excluding suicides. A killed person is excluded if the competent authority declares the cause of death to be suicide, i.e. a deliberate act to injure oneself resulting in death. For countries that do not apply the threshold of 30 days, conversion coefficients are estimated so that comparison on the basis of the 30-day definition can be made. ROAD TRAFFIC Road traffic is any movement of a road vehicle on a given road network. When a road vehicle is being carried on another vehicle, only the movement of the carrying (active mode) is considered. [COVERAGE] ROAD TRAFFIC IRTAD - Data refer to road motor vehicle traffic of motorised two-wheelers, passenger cars, goods road motor vehicles and buses. [STAT_CONC_DEF] ROAD TRAFFIC IRTAD - Data are estimated by adjusting annual survey-based odometer readings through informational on fuel sales.

The number of road traffic accident fatalities in Australia was about 926 as of October 2020, a small decrease from the previous year. The number of road traffic deaths had been declining from 1990 to 2018 in the country.

This dataset provides data professionals and road safety analysts direct access to road crash data.

Ready access to this data helps you take on more detailed research and evaluation that can contribute to better understanding of crashes and risks and improve road safety in the context of Safe Systems.

Safe systems recognises that issues relating to infrastructure, vehicles, speed, and drivers cannot be viewed in isolation, but rather their interactions need to be considered.

This data will provide a view of crash locations and environmental conditions as well as the involved vehicle types and the drivers and people who are injured or lose their lives.

Publication of data will comply with the Privacy and Personal Information Protection Act 1998, which ensures sensitive information is not included in this proposed sets of data to be released.

Five years of crash data will be initially published with updates to be made annually.

Transport for NSW also has a significant amount of crash information available on the Centre for Road Safety website, which is presented in an easy to view way to investigate trends and factors contributing to crashes in NSW: Interactive Crash Statistics

2020 Road Rage study in collaboration with Monash University Accident research Centre

Report forms concerning the deaths of 120 motorcycle riders in traffic crashes in New South Wales have been studied. Most of those killed were young men. Deaths were particularly common after 6:00pm and at the weekend. In many cases a colliding vehicle had not been aware of the motorcyclist’s presence. Any measure which would make motorcycles more easily visible, such as the constant burning of headlights, should have a beneficial effect. Head injury was very common. If 100 per cent of motorcyclist in New South Wales wore helmets, rather than the 75 per cent as at present, the death rate would be cut by about 35 percent.

From time-to-time, questions arise regarding the role played in traffic crashes by caravans towed by cars or car-derived vehicles (station wagons, utilities, panel vans). It has been suggested that towed caravans may constitute an undue hazard to other road users and that therefore special restrictions should be placed on usage of these vehicles. Such restrictions may, for example, be in the form of special licensing requirements, vehicle/caravan combination design requirements or speed limits. This paper sets out to examine the involvement of towed caravans in traffic crashes in New South Wales and to consider variously proposed countermeasures.
