Increase in number of injuries

The preliminary figures show that a total of 6 679 people have been injured in Norwegian traffic so far in 2006. 467 of these were seriously injured. The comparative figure for 2006 was 5 986 people injured, of these 523 seriously injured.

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 where the degree of injury has not been specified. Future figures may prove that there was no injury.
