Circumstances of road accidents

The analysis of the road accident in 2017 shows that:

38% of users kill themselves alone, without collision with a third, among them: 19% are motorcyclists and 65% motorists.

25% of motorists are killed in a collision with two other motorists.

64% of pedestrians are killed by a passenger vehicle, 12% by a truck or transit vehicle and 10% by a commercial vehicle.

48% of cyclists are killed by a passenger vehicle, 9% by a truck or a transit vehicle.

39% of motorcyclists are killed in a single passenger vehicle accident, 9% on a commercial vehicle, truck or transit vehicle.

ONISR observes a modification of the accident circumstances. He sees more "solo" collisions (97 people killed more than in 2016, but a result equivalent to 2015), with a new rise among motorcyclists. ONISR also reports a notable decrease in pedestrians killed by a passenger vehicle in 2017, 31 fewer people killed by a passenger vehicle, 27 fewer by a truck or public transit vehicle and 12 fewer less by a utility vehicle.

Age classes

ONISR has identified road deaths by population per age and million inhabitants. In 2017, the over-risk age groups are still the 18-24 age group (108 killed per million inhabitants) and those aged 75 and over (88 killed per million inhabitants), then the 25-34 year olds (74 killed per million inhabitants). The number of people killed per million inhabitants in metropolitan France is 53 in 2017, slightly above the European average.

In 2017, road deaths among 18-24 year olds continue to decline. 562 young people lost their lives in a road accident in 2017, 35 lives saved compared to 2016 (-6%). If 18-24 year olds remain the age group most affected by fatal road accidents, their situation is improving: 108 young people of this age are killed per million young people in this age group in 2017 , compared to 151 in 2010.

The 15-17 year olds have a road mortality slightly higher than 2016 (+5 killed) but equivalent to 2013 with 101 deaths, including 41 motorized two-wheelers. The sharp reduction in moped mortality has particularly benefited this age group, which now has a lower-than-average death rate (42 killed per million young people in this age group).

At the other end of the age pyramid, seniors over 65 now account for just over a quarter of road deaths (+ 25.2%). 869 people aged 65 and over were killed in a traffic accident in 2017. A figure down -2%, 17 lives saved compared to 2016. Of the 527 deaths of people aged 75 and over , 292 were motorists, 11 more than in 2016 and 172 were pedestrians, 49 less than in 2016.

The proportion of men and women remains relatively stable: three quarters of those killed or seriously injured in road accidents are men (77% in 2017). These account for 79% of light vehicle drivers killed, 87% of cyclists killed, 96% of motorcycle drivers killed and 95% of moped drivers killed. As in 2016, the mortality of passenger car passengers and pedestrians is shared. Men's share is 50% and 64% respectively.

ONISR finally notes that 82% of the alleged perpetrators of fatal accidents are men, while outside of professional trips, the number of kilometers traveled by male drivers is only slightly higher than that of female drivers .
