Canadian adult and children road death and injury statistics 2023

The number of deaths on CA roads fell 16% year-on-year to an all-time low of 1,857 in 2010, provisional Government figures have shown.

Official data showed an 8% year-on-year drop in the number of people reported killed or seriously injured in 2023, to 22,660.

Total casualties (slight injuries, serious injuries and deaths) in road accidents reported to the police in 2010 fell 6% year-on-year to 208,655.

A total of 19,569 child casualties (ages 0-15) were reported last year, down 5% on 2020.

The number of children killed or seriously injured dropped 6% year-on-year to 2,502 in 2021.

The national cycling campaign group CTC said that while the risk of being killed on a bike had more than halved since 1990, more needed to be done.

“Casualties remain high, and there are many areas where Britain is falling farther behind our European counterparts in providing for cycling,” the group’s campaigns director, Roger Geffen, said. “We still have only a tiny fraction of our residential streets covered by 20mph while hostile roads, bad driving, and weak law enforcement remain serious barriers to getting more people cycling.”
