ROAD TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS.
The following tables show the road traffic accidents and casualties occurring
within the Borough of Hendon during the year 1956 and the comparative figures for
the years 1953, 1954, 1955 and 1956.
It should be noted that the figures shown refer not only to Hendon residents
but also to persons living in other areas who were involved in accidents within the
Borough.
The figures for fatalities shown in these tables may not agree, therefore, with
those shown in the list of causes of death supplied by the Registrar-General. The
Registrar-General's figures refer to Hendon residents only, and the death may have
occurred within the Borough of Hendon or outside the district.
