Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how many accidents there have been on the (a) M11 and (b) A(1)M in the last 12 months.
The latest annual period for which accident statistics have been published and are available for the M11 and the A1(M) is 2013. These are set out in the table below:
| M11 | A1(M) |
Fatal | 1 | 14 |
Serious | 19 | 28 |
Slight | 81 | 218 |
Total | 101 | 260 |
Validated data for 2014 will be available in June 2015.
Casualty and collision data is drawn from police reports called STATS 19. These reports are completed when the police attend the scene of an accident where there has been at least one minor injury.
There is no requirement for damage-only accidents, with no human causalities to be reported to the police and therefore this data is excluded.
