Reported Road Casualties Great Britain: 2022

This release provides the number of personal injury road traffic casualties in Great Britain that were reported by the police to the Department for Transport in 2022 using the STATS19 reporting system.

This report focuses on severity, road user group, age and sex of these casualties, compared with previous years and over the last decade (that is, since 2012).

Recent trends in reported road casualties have begun to normalise after the national restrictions implemented from March 2020 onwards following the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, including periods of lockdown during 2021. Although there were no lockdowns in 2022, comparisons to periods which included the restrictions are affected. For this reason, this publication compares estimates for 2022 with those for 2019, which is the most recent equivalent pre-pandemic year.
