New website maps car crash sites in the UK
Thu, 13 Oct 2011

A new website has been launched which provides details of any road crash reported to the police since 2005.

Visitors to CrashMap can download a detailed report of each crash, including information such as the location of the accident, with colour indicating the severity of the accident - black is a fatal accident.

CrashMap may help bring down the cost of car insurance as road safety organisations could use it to locate accident hotspots and make the routes safer. This is the first time that there has been unrestricted access to such information which come has a result of road safety organisations compiling the data.

CrashMap creator Dan Campsall, said: "You suddenly start to see junctions and roundabouts which have huge numbers of crashes and pockets where there are significant numbers of deaths. Our purpose was to make this available to the public so they could campaign for road safety in their areas."
