10 killed in September
In September 2012, 69 persons were severely injured and 10 persons were killed in road traffic accidents, according to preliminary figures.
The average for September over the last 10 years is 83 severely injured and 20 fatalities. In September 2011, 70 persons were severely injured and 12 persons were killed.
Of the fatalities last month, five were car drivers, one was a car passenger, one was a moped driver, two were pedestrians and one 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. |
