Fatal and serious

Fatal and serious-injury crashes only

* 2020 and 2021 counts are affected by COVID-19 lockdowns and travel restrictions, and NZTA has noted that some crash reporting in this period is incomplete. Compare these years with care. 2026 is partial: Recent months are incomplete: crash reports reach CAS weeks or months after the event, and severities can be updated after investigation. The latest year is partial.
