More information?

You can find more information in the Fact sheet Road deaths in the Netherlands and in the Fact sheet Serious road injuries in the Netherlands.

More real numbers and various differentiations can be accessed below via 'Figures'.

N.B.Due to statistics legislation and reasons of privacy no tables can be made including all characteristics simultaneously, but a separate table must be consulted for each characteristic. In addition the number of registered crashes in the Netherlands has declined considerably and therefore the differentiation by characteristics can not be made for serious road injuries.
