For each bodily accident (i.e. an accident on a lane open to public traffic, involving at least one vehicle and having caused at least one victim needing care), seizures of information describing the accident are made by the police force unit (police, gendarmerie, etc.) that occurred at the scene of the accident. These seizures are compiled in a sheet entitled an analysis bulletin of personal accidents. All of these forms constitute the national register of road traffic accidents known as “BaAC File” administered by the National Interministerial Observatory for Road Safety “ONISR”.
The databases, extracted from the BAAC file, list the entire body traffic accidents that occurred during a specific year in metropolitan France as well as the overseas departments (Guadeloupe, Guyana, Martinique, Réunion and Mayotte since 2012) with a simplified description. This includes information on the location of the accident, as well as information on the characteristics of the accident and its location, the vehicles involved and their victims.
Compared to the 2005-2010 and 2006-2011 aggregated databases currently available on the website [www.data.gouv.fr](https://www.data.gouv.fr/), the databases from 2005 to 2019 are now annual and consist of 4 files (Characteristics — Places — Vehicles — Users) in csv format.
These databases do, however, obscure specific data relating to users and vehicles and their behaviour, since disclosure of such data would undermine the protection of the privacy of easily identifiable natural persons or reveal the behaviour of such persons while disclosure of such conduct could harm them (CADA Opinion — 2 January 2012).
This dataset refers to accidents from 2012 to 2019 and therefore completes [data for the years 2006 to 2011](https://public.opendatasoft.com/explore/dataset/accidents-corporels-de-la-circulation-en-france/table/?sort=-dep).
