How to add a media article to this database?

When is a person "injured"?

Someone is injured if he or she is taken to an hospital by an ambulance.

Are the statistics you are showing accurate?

Not really, but we are trying and you can help. The data is harvested from media articles. It becomes more accurate as more articles are added and we accurately tag the involved humans. However it will always just show rough trends. Location data is also hard quite to get accurately.

We remove duplicates, but that sometimes takes some time. Again, help us if you can.

Who is running this site?

Roaddanger.org started as a spin-off from a journalistic project about traffic victims by journalist Thalia Verkade and professor in Urban Mobility Futures Marco te Brömmelstroet on the online newspaper De Correspondent. The administrators of this website are journalist Thalia Verkade and programmer Jan Derk Stegeman.
