14 killed and 52 severely injured in July
In July 2012, 52 persons were severely injured and 14 persons were killed in road traffic accidents, according to preliminary figures.
The average for July over the last 10 years is 97 severely injured and 24 fatalities. In July 2011, 77 persons were severely injured and 16 persons were killed.
Of the fatalities last month, five were car drivers, two were car passengers, four were motorcyclists, two were cyclists and one was a pedestrian.
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 27 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. |
