Cycling collisions recorded by council areas: FOI release
Information request and response under the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002
Information requested
The total number of cycling collisions recorded in each council area in the years 2017, 2018 and 2019. (For assistance, I am essentially looking for up-to-date figures of this existing document - http://www.gov.scot/binaries/content/documents/govscot/publications/foi-eirrelease/2018/03/foi-18-00676/documents/foi_18_00676-injuries-cyclists-annex-2-pdf/foi_18_00676-injuries-cyclists-annex-2-pdf/govscot%3Adocument/FoI_18_00676%2B-%2BInjuries%2Bto%2Bcyclists%2B-%2Bannex%2BA%2B%25282%2529.pdf)
If possible, I’d also really appreciate it if you could show how many of these collisions resulted in a fatality, serious injury or a minor injury.
Response
I enclose a copy of all of the information you requested in the format you asked for. Please note that in 2019, Police Scotland have adopted a new accident recording system that changes the way the severity of casualties in accidents is recorded. As a result, serious and slight casualties for 2019 cannot be compared to previous years. More information is available in Key Reported Road Casualty Statistics 2019.
