10 killed in road traffic accidents

In May 2010, 65 persons were severely injured, while 10 persons were killed, according to preliminary figures.

Persons killed. May. 2001-2010

Persons seriously injured. May. 2001-2010

The average for May over the last 10 years is 86 severely injured and 22 fatalities. In May 2009, 61 persons were severely injured and 18 persons were killed. The fatality figure was later adjusted to 79 and 19 respectively.

Of the fatalities last month, six were car drivers, two were car passengers, one was a motorcyclist and one was a cyclist.

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 25 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.
