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 information for collisions which were recorded as taking place on the roads that you identified. These figures are taken from our central database of all recorded injury collisions and casualties on Scotland’s roads.

Please note that figures for 2024 are provisional as they are based on monthly returns received thus far from Police Scotland in 2024, with the most recent returns being received on 10th November 2024. 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.

Injury collisions on selected roads by severity 13 May 2021 to 31 October 2024.
