Abstract

Previous studies (1- 5) have suggested that many road accidents involving casualties are not reported to the police and are thereby seriously underrepresented in the national road ac- cident statistics. The aim of this work was to quantify the magnitude of this underreporting, for a sample of road users, in relation to the severity of injuries sustained.
