A look at the accident statistics
From a subsequent point of view, current statistics show that a total of 396 people in road traffic in 2023 were fatal, which means an increase of 7 % compared to 2022. The causes in lawn, carelessness and priority violations were particularly common. Alcoholization also played a role in 4.2 % of fatal accidents, which increases the need to take preventive measures in affected regions. The data is currently being digitally recorded by the police authorities and regularly transmitted to statistics Austria to increase the safety in road traffic.The traffic situation in Tyrol remains tense. In view of the increasing number of injuries and deaths, both drivers and pedestrians have to take on more responsibility. The police have already announced that they are increasing their presence in accident -prone areas in order to pull the racer, juggernut and alcohol engineer out of circulation. It remains to be hoped that these measures will have an effect and that such tragic accidents can be avoided in the future.
For continuous observation of the accident and the promotion of accident research, it is essential to provide reliable data bases.
