To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what estimate he has made of the cost to the economy of road crashes resulting in (a) deaths and (b) serious injuries in the last three years.

The latest figures available for the total cost elements of reported accidents are:
Deaths | Serious injuries | |
2017 | £3,571M (at 2017 prices) | £5,490M (at 2017 prices) |
A full breakdown on accident and casualty costs by year has been published on www.gov.uk (see https://www.gov.uk/government/statistical-data-sets/ras60-average-value-of-preventing-road-accidents - Table RAS60003 has the total value of prevention for accidents of all severity, by cost element.)
