Sharp increase in traffic accident fatalities
There are new concerns over traffic safety in the Netherlands after researchers found that 578 people died in traffic accidents last year, the highest number of victims in years. The figure was compiled by Smart Traffic Accident Reporting, or STAR, which works with statistics and research provided by several organizations, including government agencies, the police, and travel association ANWB. Citing STAR's figures, the Telegraaf reported 491 traffic fatalities in 2021, and 496 in 2020. However, figures provided by Statistics Netherlands, show traffic fatalities to be higher every single year.
