These are the final statistics on road collisions and casualties for Great Britain in 2024.
Between 2023 and 2024, there was a small decline in reported road casualties in Great Britain with casualty numbers broadly following the trends in recent years, outside years which were affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. In reported road collisions in Great Britain in 2024, there were an estimated:
- 1,602 fatalities, a decline of 1% compared to 2023
- 29,467 killed or seriously injured (KSI) casualties, a decline of 1% compared to 2023
- 128,272 casualties of all severities, a decline of 4% compared to 2023

Alongside the main publication and full set of detailed road safety statistical tables, we have also published a range of road safety factsheets focussed on specific road users or topics, including the official statistics on e-scooter collisions and casualties, and new analyses looking at collisions involving driving for work.
We have also published an update on progress in implementing the latest STATS19 review and future development roadmap, as well as tools to download and to map casualty data.
We are seeking feedback from users of these statistics on a number of proposed changes to aspects of their presentation, a summary of which is provided above. Feedback can be provided by completing a short feedback form.
The next reported road casualty statistics, for the year to end June 2025, are scheduled for publication in November.
