Crash recording system leads to sharp rise in serious injuries

ROAD SAFETY

A steep rise in reported serious injuries from road accidents is being reported by a number of local authorities, and attributed to the new reporting systems used by the police.

Kent County Council has reported a 46% rise in serious injuries in 2016, up from 578 in 2015 to 842. Slight casualties rose only 1% from 5,167 to 5,235 and fatalities fell by nine, from 54 to 45. 

The combination of killed and serious injuries in Kent is now at its highest level since 2002.
