Fewer fatalities in July

A total of 690 road traffic accidents were reported to the Norwegian police in July. 24 people were killed and 1 035 were injured in these accidents, according to preliminary figures.

Persons killed. January-July. 1995-2004

Persons injured. January-July. 1995-2004

This compares with 33 killed and 1 014 injured in July 2003. Figures for the ten-year period 1995-2004 show that 30 people were killed and 993 injured on average in July road traffic accidents. Among the 24 people killed in road traffic accidents last month, seven people were drivers of cars, seven were car passengers, eight were motorcyclists and two were mopedists.

Increase so far this year

The figures show that 155 people have been killed and 6 533 people have been injured in road traffic accidents so far this year. This compares with 149 killed and 6 223 injured in the same period last year. Average figures from the same period in 1995-2004 show that 168 were killed and 6 255 were injured.

More women

The figures show that 44 women or girls have been killed in road traffic accidents so far in 2004, compared with 31 in the same period in 2003. The figure is lower for men and boys, as 111 were killed in the first seven months of 2004, against 118 in the same period in 2003.

Fewer fatalities involving heavy vehicles

There have been 146 accidents involving lorries so far this year. 13 people have been killed and 212 have been injured in such accidents. This compares with 149 accidents, 19 killed and 181 injured in the same period in 2003.

Police figures

The statistics are based on accidents reported to the police. Less severe accidents and injuries are therefore under-represented in the figures. In addition, the total number of injuries includes casualties with unspecified degree of injury. Future figures may prove that there was no injury in some of these cases.
