Information requested
- Please provide the total number of collisions that have been reported on the Queensferry Crossing (M90), broken down into a table to reflect every financial year since 2016-17.
- Please provide the total number of collisions that have been reported on the Tay Road Bridge (A92), broken down into a table to reflect every financial year since 2007-8.
Response
The records we hold relate to collisions where someone is injured or killed, and which become known to Police Scotland.
The following table provides the number of injury collisions recorded as taking place on the Queensferry Crossing and Tay Road Bridge and are taken from Transport Scotland’s central database of injury collisions on Scotland’s roads.
Please note that figures for financial year 2023/2024 are provisional, as figures for calendar year 2024 have not yet been finalised. Figures for 2023/2024 may present an incomplete picture of casualties for that period due to a slight lag between collisions occurring and records being processed and shared by Police Scotland. These figures are also subject to change due to subsequent corrections and late records.
