4. Notes and Sources
The information summarised here is taken from what is collected by police forces on each road collision in which someone is injured (using the STATS19 reporting form). This is collected and published annually by the DfT. Charts and tables have been generated from databases downloaded from the DfT website.Almost all road deaths are reported, but some serious injuries are not reported and only a minority of slight injuries are reported - see the discussions in the annual DfT reports.
"Car occupant" includes car driver, car passenger, taxi/private hire car occupant, and minibus (8 - 16 passenger seats) occupant, in line with DfT practice.
KSI and fatality figures in this document are also available in various DfT publications - see heresee www.travelindependent.org.uk/links.html.
