Causes of fatal crashes in New Zealand 2000 onward

Mark Wilson made this Official Information request to New Zealand Police

The request was successful.

From: Mark Wilson

Dear New Zealand Police,

I am a New Zealand citizen.

I would like a breakdown noting the cause of all fatal road accidents in New Zealand since 2000 broken down per year, where the cause has been determined.

For example, speed, mechanical failure etc

I would also like to know the number of fatal crashes attributed directly to mobile phone use per year since 2000.

Can you please also provide a breakdown of the various distracted driver causes of non injury, injury, serious injury and fatal crashes ranked.

For example, eating while driving, sun strike, mobile phone etc.

Yours faithfully,

Mark Wilson
