14 killed in road traffic accidents
In April 2010, 52 persons were severely injured, while 14 persons were killed, according to preliminary figures.
The average for April over the last 10 years is 69 severely injured and 17 fatalities. In April 2009, 57 persons were severely injured and 17 persons were killed.
All persons that lost their lives in road traffic accidents last month were men. Six were car drivers, four were car passengers, one was a motorcyclist, one was a cyclist, one was a pedestrian and one was in the category of other road user.
Police figuresThe 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 23 per cent of the casualties reported so far this year belonged to this category. Some people registered in this category may be uninjured, and figures are subject to change. |
