Daily updated provisional road deaths
Due to a technical issue, we are currently unable to update these tables. The data shown is correct up to Friday 11 September. We are working to fix the issue as quickly as possible. If you need more information about the number of deaths to date this year, please contact media@police.govt.nz.
Details of fatal crashes are received from NZ Police and summarised here. These figures are provisional and may include deaths or crashes which are subsequently excluded. Reasons for exclusion include the crash being intentional (suicide, homicide), due to a medical event or not occurring on a public road (e.g. a driveway). Figures include crashes up to midnight.
