What these terms mean
- Collision
- A recorded road traffic collision resulting in at least one injury, reported to the police under the STATS19 system — damage-only collisions are not required to be reported and are not included. Source
- Severity
- DfT classes each collision as Fatal, Serious or Slight, based on the worst injury recorded. This figure combines all three.
Before you use these figures
- Great Britain only: STATS19 covers England, Scotland and Wales. Northern Ireland records road collisions through PSNI, a separate system not included here.
- All severities combined: This figure counts every recorded collision — fatal, serious and slight — combined. DfT's own data separates these by severity; a severity-specific breakdown is not loaded here.
- Collisions, not casualties: This counts collision EVENTS, not the people involved. One collision can produce several casualties, so this figure will usually be lower than a casualty count for the same area.
- Open Government Licence: Source: Department for Transport, Road Safety Data (STATS19). Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0.
