There have been almost as many fatal collisions in Suffolk this year compared to the whole of 2020, new figures reveal.
Road safety figures showed Suffolk recorded the fewest road deaths of anywhere in the country outside the City of London last year, while also recording the eighth lowest number of overall casualties last year.
Department for Transport figures showed that there were 12 fatalities and 1,273 casualties of all severity on Suffolk's roads in 2020, compared to 25 fatalities and 1,925 casualties the previous year.
Police welcomed the news as a positive reflection of driving behaviour and efforts to enhance road safety - but warned that 2021 had already seen 10 fatal collisions on Suffolk's road, including seven since the 'stay at home' rule was lifted at the end of March.
