The question
To ask the Scottish Executive how many road traffic accidents there were on (a) the A725 and (b) the A71 in (i) 2000 and (ii) 2001 in each local authority area and how many fatalities and serious injuries there were in each case.
The answer
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.The table gives the numbers of road accidents which were identified in the STATS 19 returns as occurring on (a) the A725 and (b) the A71 in the specified years, and the associated fatalities and serious casualties. The information is broken down by local authority area.It should be noted that the statistics given in the table are based upon the data which are held in the central statistical database and which were collected by the police at the time of the accident and subsequently reported to the Executive. They may differ from any figures which the local authorities would provide now, because they do not take account of any subsequent changes or corrections that local authorities may have made to the statistical information, for use at local level, about the location of each accident, based upon their knowledge of the roads and areas concerned.(a) Injury road accidents occurring on the A725, and the associated numbers of fatalities and seriously-injured casualties, as reported in the "STATS 19" statistical returns.Local Authority | Year | Injury road accidents | Fatalities | Seriously-injured casualties
