Accident Data

The Traffic & Safety Team record data supplied by the Avon & Somerset Constabulary of accidents involving personal injury which have been reported to them. (Damage-only accidents are not recorded as there is no legal requirement to report these). 

Details of these accidents can be requested by commercial companies at a charge of £55 plus VAT for smaller enquiries, with prices for larger enquiries being quoted for at the time of request.

If you require accident data, please write in to the address at the bottom of this page, ensuring that you provide the following information:

  • Your contact details (name, company name, address & daytime telephone number)
  • A map showing the exact parameters of the road (s) or area (s) for which you require the accident data
  • Please also state the period of time for which you require the accident data (usually the last 3 years or 5 years) and confirmation that you are prepared to pay the standard charge for the data (where the request involves extra investigation, we will contact you to agree a fee before carrying out the work).

We will then send you the accident data and you will be invoiced shortly after.

Note: All accident data supplied is provisional. Data supplied will be to the end of the month, 3 full months before the date supplied (e.g. data supplied on the 15/8 will be up to 30/4).
