Nearly 500 people sustained serious injuries in e-scooter collisions last year, according to new statistics that paint a mixed picture for road safety in Great Britain. Provisional figures from the Department for Transport for 2025 indicate a "broad continuation of recent trends," with overall casualties and fatalities declining over the past decade.
An estimated 1,556 fatalities were reported in road collisions in 2025, a 3% decrease compared with 2024. However, the number of people seriously injured or killed rose by 4% to 29,911 last year. In total, 127,870 casualties of all severities were recorded.
