Data about injury road accidents are collected by the police and reported to the Scottish Executive using the STATS 19 statistical report form. These returns cover only road accidents in which one or more people were injured: they do not cover damage only accidents.Accidents for which winter weather conditions were reported as an attributable factor are not identified as such in the STATS 19 returns. However, some information is available about the weather and the road surface condition, using code-lists which are shown on page 128 of Road Accidents Scotland 1998, copies of which are available in SPICe (Bib. no. 11551).The information requested is given in the table entitled "Injury road accidents occurring on the trunk road network, and the associated numbers of fatalities and seriously-injured casualties: 1995 to 1999 (provisional)", a copy of which has been placed in SPICe (Bib. no. 11548).
