The trend relating to serious injuries is more difficult to analyse, as
the method the police use to record severity has changed in recent
years. When accounting for the changes in reporting the estimated number
of serious injuries since 2010 has declined slightly, albeit at a slower
rate than before 2010. However, the total figure is still in excess of
22,000 serious injuries a year, or the equivalent of around 60 a day, on
average. ENDS

To put these figures into context...

Number of years to drive before:

killing anyone...30,000

seriously injuring anyone...2,000
