Transport Scotland A96 road collision statistics: FOI release

Information requested

The number of collisions, broken down by fatal, serious and slight injury, that have occurred on the A96 between 2021 to the current date, broken down by year.

Response

The records we hold relate to collisions where someone is injured or killed, and which become known to Police Scotland. Therefore, we do not hold records relating to damage-only collisions.

Please note that figures for 2024 and 2025 are provisional. They are based on monthly returns received thus far from Police Scotland, with the most recent returns being received on 13th August 2025. This may be an incomplete picture of casualties up to that date 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. The following tables provide a summary of the injury collisions and casualties recorded as taking place on the A96 since January 2021.
