Latest statistical reports

Summary

The RTA maintains statistical reports about traffic crashes in NSW. These documents are prepared for information purposes, including research by road safety practitioners, and can be downloaded here.
For a crash to be included in these statistics the crash must have resulted in either:
  • death or injury; or,
  • at least one vehicle being towed away.
A report can be either preliminary or final:
  • Preliminary means that the report is based on data which has not been processed to completion at the time of publication.  These reports are subject to change and are routinely replaced.
  • Final means that the report is based on data which has been processed to completion.  These reports are not subject to change.
