A study of the differences between male and female casualties in road traffic collisions . This report looks at the age, causation and miles travelled by males and females and highlights any differences noticed between the two genders.

These are the final statistics on road collisions and casualties for Great Britain in 2021.

The number of reported road casualties in 2021 continued to be impacted by the national restrictions following the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, including a period of lockdown between January and March. Casualty numbers increased compared to 2020, which was also affected by the pandemic, but remained lower than the pre-pandemic levels. Overall, casualties have broadly followed trends in traffic in recent years.

These statistics show that in 2021 there were:

• an estimated 1,558 reported road deaths, a decrease of 11% from pre-pandemic levels (2019)

• an estimated 27,450 killed or seriously injured (KSI) casualties, 11% below the 2019 level

• an estimated 128,209 casualties of all severities, 16% below the 2019 level

Alongside this publication we have separately published further analysis including:

• a series of factsheets on vulnerable road users, including e-scooters, pedestrians, pedal cyclists and motorcyclists and on road user risk

• initial analysis on the type of injury sustained, for police forces where this information is available

We have also published changes to road casualty statistics following user feedback. This includes changes to the accompanying data tables to meet accessibility requirements. A mapping from the previous tables can be found in the table index.

The next reported road casualty statistics, for the year to end June 2022, are scheduled for publication in November.

Reported road casualties provisional results for 2022 show a return towards pre-pandemic trends. As both 2020 and 2021 included periods of lockdown, this publication compares provisional results for 2022 to 2019 figures, the most recent equivalent pre-pandemic year.

In reported road collisions in Great Britain in 2022 there were an estimated:

• 1,695 fatalities, a decline of 3% compared to 2019

• 29,795 killed or seriously injured (KSI) casualties, a decline of 3% compared to 2019

• 136,002 casualties of all severities, a decline of 11% compared to 2019

Alongside this publication we have updated our factsheet on e-scooter casualties.

This bespoke analysis was commissioned by Promotion and Outreach Branch, DfI, and supplements the NI Road Safety Strategy (NIRSS) to 2030 Annual Statistical Report. The purpose of the research is to review PSNI road traffic collision data on pedestrians and identify any emerging issues in relation to the number of people killed or seriously injured due to speeding on Northern Ireland’s roads in the five year period 2019-2023.

This publication presents detailed statistics about the circumstances of personal injury accidents, including the types of vehicles involved, the resulting casualties and factors which may contribute to accidents. In addition to detailed tables there are six articles containing further analysis on specific road safety topics.

Most of the statistics in the publication are based on information about accidents reported to the police. However, other sources such as mortality, survey and hospital data are also used as well as population and traffic data to provide a wider context.

Key points

Key findings from the RRCGB 2011 report include:

• In 2011, there were a total of 203,950 casualties of all severities in road accidents reported to the police, 2 per cent lower than in 2010. There were 1,901 people killed, a 3 per cent increase than in 2010 and 23,122 were seriously injured, up 2 per cent. Motor vehicle traffic increased slightly (0.2 per cent) over the same period.
• The number of fatalities fell for three types of road user, with a fall of 22 per for bus and coach occupants, 10 per cent for motor cyclists, 4 per cent for pedal cyclists. Pedestrian and Car occupants rose by 12 and 6 per cent respectively.
• In 2011, it is estimated 9,990 reported casualties (5 per cent of all road casualties) occurred when someone was driving whilst over the legal alcohol limit. The provisional number of people estimated to have been killed in drink drive accidents was 280 (15 per cent of all road fatalities).
• The rate per billion vehicle miles for total casualties in reported road accidents and the rate of people killed or seriously injured (KSI) in 2011 were both 15 per cent lower than the 2005-09 average. For fatalities alone, the 2011 rate was 32 per cent lower than the average.
• Failed to look properly was again the most frequently reported contributory factor and was reported in 42 per cent of all accidents reported to the police in 2011.
• In 2011, the economic welfare cost of reported road accidents was estimated to be around £15.6 billion.

Tables providing regional and local authority figures are titled: RAS30038 - RAS30058, RAS10014 - RAS10015, RAS41002 - RAS41004

• KSI casualties decreased by 3% with slightly injured casualties and overall total casualties both falling by 1% compared with the same quarter in 2014

The quarterly provisional estimates provides in-year statistics of personal injury road accidents and their casualties. These are published to allow emerging trends to be monitored between the publications of annual figures.

Reported road casualties for the year ending June 2022 show a return towards pre-pandemic trends. As both 2020 and 2021 included periods of lockdown, this publication compares estimates for the year ending June 2022 with those for the year ending June 2019, which is the most recent equivalent pre-pandemic year.

Figures for the year ending June 2022 show there were an estimated:

• 1,760 fatalities in reported road collisions, a 4% decrease compared with the year ending June 2019 (pre-pandemic levels)
• 29,804 reported killed or seriously injured (KSI) casualties, a decrease of 6% compared with the year ending June 2019
• 137,013 reported casualties of all severities, a decrease of 12% compared with the year ending June 2019

Alongside this publication we have updated our factsheet on e-scooter casualties with figures for the year ending June 2022 based on casualties reported to the police.

We have also released a new factsheet showing the link between road casualties and deprivation, based on final 2021 data.
