9 killed in road traffic accidents
In November 2010, 35 persons were severely injured, while 9 persons were killed, according to preliminary figures.
The average for November over the last 10 years was 66 severely injured and 20 fatalities. In November 2009, 46 persons were severely injured and 20 persons were killed. The fatality figures were later adjusted to 51 and 19 respectively.
Of the fatalities last month, six were car drivers, one was a pedestrian, one person was on a sledge and one other was a road user.
So far this year 197 people have been killed in road traffic accidents. The corresponding figure for 2009 was 195. According to preliminary figures, 624 people have been severely injured in road traffic accidents so far this year, compared to 681 last year. Last year’s fatality figure was later adjusted to 688.
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 21 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. |
