Alongside this publication we have updated our factsheet on e-scooter casualties with figures for the year ending June 2023 based on casualties reported to the police.
We have also released a new methodology note on contributory factors, based on final 2021 data, to explore how the reporting of factors differs when based on information available a longer time after the collision occurs than is typically captured.
The next reported road casualty statistics, provisional annual estimates for the whole of 2023, are scheduled for publication in May 2024.
