Our statistical practice is regulated by the Office for Statistics Regulation (OSR). OSR sets the standards of trustworthiness, quality and value in the Code of Practice for Statistics that all producers of official statistics should adhere to. You are welcome to contact us directly by emailing us with any comments about how we meet these standards.
Following notification of forthcoming changes to these statistics in May 2024 and a request for user feedback, we have implemented the proposed changes. This includes no longer updating the provisional e-scooter factsheets and instead summarising the e-scooter figures within the main publication. Further details of these changes, and other responses to user feedback, are available from our user engagement page.
Reported road casualties for the year ending June 2024 showed signs of a continued return to pre-pandemic trends.
In reported road collisions in Great Britain in the year ending June 2024 there were an estimated:
-
1,607 fatalities, a decline of 2% compared to the year ending June 2023
-
29,540 killed or seriously injured (KSI) casualties, little change compared to the year ending June 2023
-
128,920 casualties of all severities, a decline of 4% compared to the year ending June 2023
Alongside the main publication we are publishing two road safety factsheets focussed on specific road users or topics, including new analyses looking at the ‘fatal 4’ factors based on the new road safety factors classification and the accompanying data tables.
The next reported road casualty statistics, provisional annual estimates for the whole of 2024, are scheduled for publication in May 2025.
