As can be seen the actual numbers killed or seriously injured have decreased
considerably for most areas between 1994-98 and 2009 for all ages and young people
aged under 16 years. It is likely that most accidents which result in deaths or serious
injuries will be reported to the police within 30 days, so most casualties should be
included.

From the Department for Transport, the casualty rate (killed, seriously injured or slightly
injured) and the killed and seriously injured casualty rate per billion vehicle miles is given
in Table 359 for Hull and comparator areas. Hull has one of the highest casualty rates
of comparators. This is likely to be due to the tight geographical boundaries of the city
with the suburban areas mainly falling outside the Hull boundaries and within
neighbouring East Riding of Yorkshire. Most other comparator areas will probably
include some of their quieter suburban areas within their geographical boundaries.
