We continually monitor personal injury road traffic crash information supplied by Kent Police. The crash data is checked and recorded onto a database for analysis to help identify patterns and common causes leading up to the incident.
Personal injury collisions are categorised by severity:
- Fatal - a crash resulting in a death
- Serious - detention in hospital, includes paralysis, fractures and severe lacerations
- Slight - includes whiplash, sprains and minor lacerations.
