## Reported Road Casualties In 2019 Report To Senior Management Team (Smt) Release Date: 30 June 2020 Executive Summary - Calderdale District Rtc Statistics Of 2019

The overall reduction in the number of casualties of all severities in Calderdale is reflected in all road user categories with the exception of motorbike riders. The slight reduction in the number of deaths (2) was accompanied by the increase in serious injuries, contributing to the slight increase of overall KSI in 2019. All child casualties reduced again in 2019 after remaining static between 2014 and 2016, but the number of serious injuries among children has barely improved in the recent three years. Overall, collisions resulting in high severity injuries to all road users, but particularly to vulnerable road users, remain a priority especially after the slight increase reported in 2019.

## Executive Summary Overall

The KSI trend of recent years remains firmly downward despite the slight increase in 2018 and 2019. The numbers of those KSI among the most vulnerable road users (pedestrians, cyclists and motorbike riders) have barely improved in recent years, despite the encouraging reduction among pedestrians. Collisions resulting in high severity injuries to all road users, but mostly to vulnerable road users, remain a priority and need to be actively and appropriately addressed.
