Damage only accidents are not held for statistical purposes although they are held if they are reported but this spans over 2 PSNI systems.  We conducted the relevent searches in relation to your request & found two single vehicle damage only collisions, one in 2021 & one in 2025.       

Answer 5
Environmental factors are considered / noted for every Road Traffic Collison (RTC) regardless of the location.  For the 2 reported damage only reports, one driver reported the other driver approached with their full beam making it hard to see & the other report states the driver had misjudged the corner.
