Reported road casualties for 2022 show a return towards pre-pandemic trends. As both 2020 and 2021 included periods of national COVID-19 lockdown, this publication compares provisional results for 2022 to 2019 figures, the most recent equivalent pre-pandemic year.
In reported road collisions in Great Britain in 2022, there were an estimated:
- 1,711 fatalities, a decline of 2% compared to 2019
- 29,742 killed or seriously injured (KSI) casualties, a decline of 3% compared to 2019
- 135,480 casualties of all severities, a decline of 12% compared to 2019

The next reported road casualty statistics, for the year to end June 2023, are scheduled for publication in November.
