11 people killed in road traffic accidents

A total of 584 road traffic accidents were reported to Norwegian police in October. Eleven lost their lives and 584 were injured in these accidents, according to preliminary figures.

People killed. January-October 2000-2009

People injured January-October 2000-2009

Preliminary figures for October 2008 showed that 23 people were killed and 940 were injured in 651 accidents. The average figures for the 10-year period 2000-2009 were 21 fatalities and 1 025 injuries in October traffic. The fatalities last month included 5 car drivers, 5 car passengers and 1 other road user.

Fewer people killed

The preliminary figures show that 177 persons have been killed and 8 202 have been injured so far this year. Final figures for the same period last year were 227 killed and 9 268 injured. The average figures for the period 2000-2009 are 218 persons killed and 9 624 injured.

Police figures

The statistics are based on accidents reported to the police. Less severe accidents and injuries are often not reported to the police and may therefore be underrepresented in the figures. The total number of injuries includes casualties where the degree of injury has not been specified. Around 18 per cent of the casualties reported thus far in 2009 belonged to this category. Some people registered in this category may be uninjured, and figures are subject to change.
