Abstract
Presented are annual summaries of data for Australian road fatalities to the period ended December 2009, including cross-tabulations of deaths by age, sex, road user type and jurisdiction. Fatal crashes are analysed by time of week, posted speed limit and the number of involved vehicles. The focus of the report is on the last five years to 2009, however, longer time series are also included. This report contains no data on crashes that do not result in a fatality. Nor are causal and contributory factors included. The data used for this report is publicly available via a web-based tool at http://www.infrastructure.gov.au/roads/safety/road_fatality_statistics/… (Author/publisher)
