Road collisions — 350 of 361 areas ranked
Rank by year-on-year change instead
Higher figures on this page are generally worse, not the opposite.
These are raw counts, not rates — a larger area ranks higher on this page mainly because it has more people, not necessarily a worse underlying rate.
This page ranks 350 of 361 areas at this level — the rest have no published figure for this dataset (see the coverage notes above for why, where one applies).
Figures as of 2025, published by Department for Transport, Road Safety Data (STATS19). Accessed 2026-10-19.
Colour shows the year-on-year change in the number of recorded road collisions for each local authority district, published annually by the Department for Transport (STATS19). Great Britain only — Northern Ireland is not covered.

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.
