Personal accidents and road traffic victims by canton and municipality 2005-2015

This table shows for the years 2005 to 2015 the total number of physical accidents, the total number of slightly injured, seriously injured and killed by cantons and municipalities in Luxembourg. The following definitions were used: A road traffic accident means any unexpected and sudden occurrence of one or more users on a lane normally open to traffic and causing bodily injury provided that a moving vehicle has been involved in the occurrence. For statistics on personal accidents, only personal traffic accidents reported to the Grand Ducale Police are taken into account. The data are drawn from the minutes of law enforcement officials. The victims killed include those killed on the spot or who died as a result of the accident within 30 days. Seriously injured victims who suffer from any fracture, concussion, internal injury, cuts and tears, bruises or other injuries resulting in hospitalisation of up to one day’s duration shall be considered to be seriously injured. Persons who have undergone scratches, strains or any other benign injury requiring only outpatient treatment are considered to be slightly injured. To define the severity of the accident, the most severe injury is taken into account.
