Mr. Miscampbell
asked the Secretary of State for Transport, what is the proportion of road accident victims who, on being thrown clear of their vehicles, are killed.
Mr. Horam
I regret that this information is not available from national statistics. However a recent survey of vehicle occupants in 1,126 accidents, carried out by the Transport and Road Research Laboratory—TRRL—showed that just under a quarter of those who were thrown out of their vehicles were killed. TRRL leaflet LF633 gives further details.
