Child KSI fingures fall
THERE has been a drop in the number of child injuries on Worcestershire roads, new figures have revealed.
Parents across Worcestershire are being advised to continue to reinforce the importance of road safety to their children following the release of new Department for Transport figures.
The latest statistics show that 14 children were killed or seriously injured on Worcestershire’s roads in 2008, compared to 27 in 2007.
These figures follow a recent report from the National Audit Office, which ranked Britain as the eighth worst developed nation for child casualties, yet only 14th worst for adults.
