Startling statistics

 

In Ireland in 2006:

365 people of all ages were killed in road collisions

8,940 people of all ages were seriously injured in road collisions


The number of people killed or seriously injured in road collisions continues to fall across the country, but child pedestrian death rate in Ireland is almost twice that of countries like Sweden and France.

You will find more statistics in the RSA online publication Child Casualties Report 1997–2006.
