About this chart

Fatal collisions each year in rural Alberta and in its cities, towns, villages and hamlets, 1998 to 2023. Rural roads see about twice as many: 178 against 94 in 2023, and 257 against 101 in 1998. Rural fatal collisions fell from a high of 280 in 2005 to 141 in 2019. Urban means inside the boundaries of a city, town, village or hamlet; everything else is rural.

Alberta Road Deaths and Major Injuries

People killed and people seriously hurt in traffic collisions on Alberta roads each year, 2018 to 2023. 297 people were killed in 2023, the most in these six years, up from 233 in 2019; 2,669 were admitted to hospital with major injuries, up from 2,085 in 2020. Major injuries start in 2018, the earliest year in the first report that publishes them; the province now leans on them because some police services changed how they file reports, and minor-injury collisions can no longer be told apart from damage-only ones. Figures are as published in the most recent annual report covering each year.
