Annual collision records
43 fatal crashes
In the latest reporting year, Toronto Police recorded 43 fatal collisions and 298 injury collisions on city streets.
Police injury counts reflect collisions attended by officers where major injury or death occurred. Minor injuries and unreported near-misses are excluded from these files, meaning police metrics represent the acute severe end of street trauma.
