Road collisions — every local authority district ranked

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.

Figures as of 2025, published by DfT -- STATS19 Road Safety Data. Accessed 2026-09-04.

Colour shows the year-on-year change in the number of recorded road collisions for each local authority, published annually by the Department for Transport (STATS19). Great Britain only -- Northern Ireland is not covered.

Two or more areas with the same figure share a rank -- the next rank is skipped (e.g. two areas tied for 1st means the next entry is ranked 3rd, not 2nd).

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.
