Notes
- Most police forces moved to an injury-based reporting system (CRASH) between 2012 and 2019, which records more injuries as serious. DfT's adjusted figures estimate what every force would have recorded under that system, which is why they have decimals; they are the ones to compare over time.
- Collisions not reported to the police are not counted; DfT notes that many non-fatal casualties are never reported.
