THE WHERE, WHEN AND WHY The incident itself. The incident can involve any number of vehicles and people. This data only includes collisions where a person / people were injured |
| WHO'S INVOLVED The people themselves who are injured in the collisions. These numbers can be higher than collision numbers as a single collision can result in more than one casualty |

Devon County Council’s collision and casualty data has gone through an extensive validation process and is based only on fatal, serious and slight injury related collisions. This data only includes the collisions that have been reported to and recorded by Devon & Cornwall Police and not any where details between parties were exchanged and Police not informed. Each year's collision and casualty data is released once the data has been verified by the Department for Transport (approximately June time). Plymouth and Torbay not included as they form their own unitary council areas.
