In 1994, 34 persons were killed and 295 were injured in accidents with combined vehicles. The corresponding figures for the period 1986-1994 were respectively 29 and 259.
A total of 235 combined vehicles (tractor-trailers, semitrailers and articulated vehicles) were involved in 232 road accidents involving personal injury in Norway last year. This was four more than the year before and 24 more than the average for 1986-1994. Forty-one persons were killed and 320 were injured last year in such accidents. Just over 23 per cent of the combined vehicle accidents were due to the vehicle leaving the road or involved only one vehicle. The comparative figure for 1994 was 19 per cent.
Statistics on combined vehicle accidents were compiled for every other year during the period 1986-1994, as well as 1995. The lowest number of fatalities was in 1990, when 20 persons were killed. The ratio of fatalities to number of accidents was highest in 1988, when 34 persons, nearly 13 per cent of those involved in such accidents, were killed. The ratio for 1995 was lower despite a higher number of fatalities. The number of persons killed totalled 41, which corresponds to 11 per cent.
