Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government how many motorway accidents there were in 2013–14; and how many of those involved heavy goods vehicles.

The table below gives the number of personal-injury accidents that occurred on motorways in Great Britain (including motorways with a designation of A(M)) in 2013 and 2014 that were reported to the police. The final column indicates how many of the reported accidents involved at least one heavy goods vehicle (HGV).

Police reported accidents do not include any damage-only incidents. Not all accidents are reported to the police, therefore these figures do not represent a full count of all collisions or accidents that took place on motorways in 2013 and 2014.
