More than 500 people have been injured in crashes on roads and streets across Sutton, according to new figures released by Transport for London (TfL).

Data published on September 27 shows there were 533 casualties from collisions in the borough during 2017.

A total of 472 of injuries suffered were described as “slight”, while 61 of them were “fatal and serious”.

But only Richmond (513) and Harrow (519) have seen fewer victims of accidents than Sutton.

It’s Westminster which had the most, with 1,917, followed by Lambeth (1,542), and then Barnet in third (1,344).

The new data also shows, when casualty types in Sutton were broken down, 264 were car passengers, 115 were pedestrians, 71 were on powered two-wheelers, and 44 were pedal cyclists.

Overall, 131 people were killed and 3,750 others were seriously injured on London’s roads last year.

People who were walking, cycling, or riding motorcycles comprised more than half of all crash victims and 87 percent of all deaths.

Among those killed or seriously injured, that rose 10 percent for pedestrians, five percent for motorcyclists, but dropped by a percentage for cyclists from 2016.

It comes as a new “Vision Zero” action plan was launched by the Mayor of London Sadiq Khan and TfL in July this year.

It aims to cut down the toll of deaths and serious injuries suffered across the city, with the ambition of eliminating all of them from London’s roads by 2041.

Lilli Matson, TfL’s director of transport strategy, said: “These new figures show why our Vision Zero approach is so important.

“We refuse to accept that any death or serious injury on London's roads is acceptable or inevitable and will continue to work with the police and all boroughs to meet our target of eliminating all death and serious injury from London's roads by 2041.

“This work includes targeting dangerous drivers, investing in safer junctions, removing the most dangerous heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) from London's roads and working closely with boroughs to implement 20mph speed limits, as well as delivering lower speed limits on parts of our own Transport for London Road Network.”
