  • Victims with serious injuries
    499, which is 73 fewer than in the same period last year
  • Victims with minor injuries
    12,085, which is 726 fewer than in the same period last year
  • Total

Mid-year road safety record

The mid-year road safety record provides provisional automobile accident data collected during a specific period.

Contrary to the annual road safety record, the mid-year report only covers part of the year and provides provisional statistics which will be fully validated in the remaining months of the year. The mid-year report also plays a role in strategic road safety planning for the current year.
