Road Collisions Aug 2022 – Dec 2022 (19A/22)
Request
The number of road collisions in the past 6 months (August 2022-December 2022) that your police force has responded to, and also where possible the make of the cars involved with how many collisions were from that make.
Response
Please find attached (19A/23 attachment) our response.
Please note that some of the vehicle makes have been spelt incorrectly. We have not altered these as it would be altering data, also where there is no make or a “?” it means that this data has not been recorded.
Every effort is made to ensure that the figures presented are accurate and complete. However, it is important to note that these data have been extracted from a number of data sources used by forces for police purposes. The detail collected to respond specifically to your request is subject to the inaccuracies inherent in any large-scale recording system. As a consequence, care should be taken to ensure data collection processes and their inevitable limitations are considered when interpreting those data.
The figures provided therefore are our best interpretation of relevance of data to your request, but you should be aware that the collation of figures for ad hoc requests may have limitations and this should be considered when those data are used.
If you decide to write an article / use the enclosed data we would ask you to take into consideration the factors highlighted in this document so as to not mislead members of the public or official bodies, or misrepresent the relevance of the whole or any part of this disclosed material.
