More drilling into the data would be informative. As Peter Perfect mentions, how many are Drink and Drugs related? what’s the break down between the road user groups? ( I suspect motorcyclist deaths and injuries are alarmingly high) Where they have occurred too, autopista? Rural road? In town? And finally, at what speeds did the deaths and injuries occur? Excessive or snails pace? Hmm, I wonder.
Mainly drink and drugs I would hazard a guess.
