The average for February over the last 10 years is 52 severely injured and 15 fatalities. In February 2010, 38 persons were severely injured and 8 persons were killed in 458 road traffic accidents.

Nine men and three women were killed in road traffic accidents last month. These were made up of five car drivers, two car passengers, one motorcyclist, one moped driver, two pedestrians and one other road user.

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 36 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.
