The Police Service of Northern Ireland statistics on injury road traffic collisions are the main source of information used in Northern Ireland for monitoring and tracking trends on the number of persons killed, seriously and slightly injured as a result of collisions on our roads.
The information is used widely within the PSNI and by other partner Agencies, to ensure that emerging problems are quickly identified and can be addressed through a combination of approaches including enforcement (PSNI), education (Road Safety through the Department for Infrastructure) or by engineering (Transport NI).
The figures on injury collisions collated by the PSNI for Northern Ireland are used alongside those for England, Scotland and Wales, to give the total figures of all such collisions for the UK. The statistics are also widely used by other NI government departments as well as in the media and academia.

Notification of delay
There is usually a two month lag between the end of the reporting period and publication of the RTC statistics. Due to very limited resources in the inputting teams at present, this is currently four months. The situation will be kept under review and we will endeavour to return to the regular publication schedule as soon as possible. All available planned publication dates can be found in our publication schedule at https://www.psni.police.uk/inside-psni/Statistics/.
