To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how many road accidents there were in (a) England, (b) the North East, (c) Northumberland by ward and (d) Hexham constituency in the latest period for which data is available.

Asked by:

Data on road injury collisions are reported by police using the STATS19 system. The number of personal injury road collisions in each of the areas requested in 2023 are shown in the table below.

Area	All collisions
England	96,771
North East England	3,078

The number of collisions by ward is not routinely available. Mapping tools to view the distribution of individual collisions across Northumberland are available alongside the latest published statistical release on GOV.UK.

Data on which fatal collisions were classified as accidental does not fall under the remit of the Department for Transport and is recorded by coroners.
