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.
