Causes Of Accidents By Severity Of Injury Sustained, Annual

Description

Annual counts of accident causes in Singapore by the severity of injury sustained, compiled by the Singapore Police Force and covering 2012 through 2024. Each row is a cause-and-severity series and each column is a year, so trends in fatal and less serious outcomes can be tracked side by side. Note that a single accident may be attributed to more than one cause, so figures should not be summed. Safety researchers and policymakers use it to identify the causes most associated with serious injury. Adapted from SingStat TableBuilder TS/M651361.
