ROAD TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS
The following tables show the road traffic accidents and casualties occurring
within the Borough of Hendon during the year 1961 and the comparative figures for
the years 1958, 1959 and 1960.
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.
