Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how many cyclists have been killed in accidents with buses in the last 12 months for which figures are available.
This question was answered on 8th March 2017
Number of pedal cyclist casualties in two vehicle reported road accidents involving a i) bus and ii) heavy goods vehicle, Great Britain: 2015
Pedal cyclist severity | Bus or coach | Heavy goods vehicle |
Killed | 4 | 18 |
Seriously injured | 45 | 81 |
