This publication presents statistics on personal-injury accidents in 2012 on public roads (including footways) in Great Britain, which became known to the police. Figures are derived from the ‘STATS 19’ forms completed by the police. These collect detailed data on individual personal-injury road accidents, covering the circumstances of the accident and the casualties and vehicles involved. The resulting data are supplied to local authorities and to the Department for Transport. Figures for deaths refer to persons who sustained injuries which caused death within 30 days of the accident. Summary statistics are published quarterly. A more comprehensive analysis of 2012 casualty statistics will be published later in the year 2013. (Author/publisher)
