Details

The recent trends in reported road casualties have been impacted by the national restrictions implemented from March 2020 onwards following the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

Alongside the provisional release, we have published a second report investigating the impact on reported road casualties, displaying monthly trends.

Provisional statistics on reported road casualties in Great Britain for 2020 show that there were:

• 1,472 reported road deaths, a decrease of 16% from 2019
• 115,333 casualties of all severities in 2020, down by 25% from 2019
• casualties saw the greatest monthly percentage decrease of 68% in April 2020, compared to 3-year average for 2017 to 2019

A more comprehensive analysis of 2020 casualty statistics will be published later this year in Reported road casualties Great Britain, annual report.

We have published our latest releases in HTML. We have launched a survey to gather stakeholder feedback in relation to this change of format and other aspects of our road safety statistics.
