Abstract

According to police records about 1.4 million road traffic users were injured in the EU in 2014, 135 000 of which were seriously injured. However, according to recent estimates of the hospital based EU Injury Database (https://ec.europa.eu/health/data_collection/databases/idb_en), 4.2 million road traffic injuries occur annually, 668 000 of which have to be admitted to hospital. This indicates a considerable under-reporting of road traffic injuries in police records.
