In 2020, 26 people lost their lives in road accidents in Luxembourg. The statistics show that this number has been falling sharply in recent years.
In addition to these 26 deaths, 217 people were seriously injured on Luxembourg’s roads in 2020, while 510,000 vehicles were registered in Luxembourg that year. By way of comparison, in 2000, 76 deaths and 400 serious injuries were recorded on the Grand Duchy’s roads, while the number of registered vehicles was only 318,000.
Minister for Mobility François Bausch cited these figures provided by the National Institute of Statistics and Economic Studies (STATEC) in his response to a parliamentary question by MP Jeff Engelen from the Alternative Democratic Reform Party (adr).
In his answer, the Minister also specified that a person is considered seriously injured if, after an accident, they hospitalised for more than 24 hours and have certain injuries such as a fracture, concussion, internal injuries, cuts, bruises, or other injuries.
