Abstract:
This statistical statement contains tabulations of information coded from Traffic Crash Reports. To put these data into context, the following is a brief description of the process
which has resulted in this publication. When a road traffic crash involves a motor vehicle and
results in someone being injured, the law requires that crash to be reported. However, comprehensive hospital based surveys indicate that only about two thirds of such injury crashes are reported to the New Zealand Transport Agency (NZ Transport Agency). There may also
be a reporting bias by type of road user and by day of week and by hour of day and by region.
When an injury crash is reported it is attended usually by a police officer. The reporting officer’s primary duties are to prevent further injury and to help those injured. The next
duty is a legal one, to ascertain whether anyone involved in the crash has committed an offence. After dealing with other duties, this officer completes a Traffic Crash Report (TCR). The TCR is examined and coded by traffic engineers and by administrative staff of NZ Transport Agency and this coded information is entered into the Crash Analysis System (CAS). After editing and checking, the statistical statement is published.
