Trend over time

Reported collisions went from 112 in 2021 to 114 in 2025, a very small change. Counts are affected by traffic levels, population and changes in how police record injuries, so Gosport should not be ranked against other areas on these numbers alone.

About these figures

Only collisions involving injury that were reported to the police are counted. The figures are not adjusted for traffic volume or population, so they should not be used to rank areas against each other. Serious and slight splits use the Department for Transport's severity adjustment. Full explanation.
