Where it covers

Northern Ireland collisions are published by the Police Service of Northern Ireland in a different format. They are not in this layer.

Open Index shows the figures as Department for Transport publishes them, for the areas they were published for: map points.

Counts for larger areas are added up from map points.

These are collisions that police recorded because someone was injured. Collisions with no injury, and injuries that were never reported to police, are not included.
Severity is as the police reported it. Forces changed how they judge severity at different times, so Open Index does not compare the number of serious collisions between years.
Each point is the position the police recorded. It is on or near a road, and is not an address.
When the map is zoomed out, nearby collisions are grouped into one circle with a count.
2021 was affected by COVID-19 restrictions.
