ROAD TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS
The following tables show the road traffic accidents and casualties occurring
within the Borough of Hendon during the year 1962 and the comparative
figures for the years 1959, 1960 and 1961.
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 RegistrarGeneral.
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.
