ACCIDENTAL DEATHS
In Hornsey during the year 595 persons were injured on the
roads, 7 of whom were killed. Of the injured 17 were under 5
years of age and 46 over 65 years. The older age group, however,
included 4 killed and 16 seriously injured, which as may be expected
is proportionately higher than in the other groups. Two persons
under 30 years were killed in motor cycle accidents and one of 37 in
a car crash. No other fatal accidents occurred to persons under
the age of 70 years.
Hornsey residents killed on the roads were five from motor
vehicle accidents and all were over the age of 65 years.
During the same period 9 fatal accidents occurred to Hornsey
residents in or around the home.
No information is available regarding non-fatal home accidents,
many of which are not recorded as such, but it much not be forgotten
that nationally these accidents cause more deaths than road or industrial
