An Accidental Record

Saw a report the other day, where Queensland Ambulance reported that the number of road accidents they have attendented (January to July) has increased since last year. By itself, that's no surprise.

The surprising part was the number. 12,738 Of those, 9488 involved someone being taken to hospital.

"These statistics really are appalling," said Ambulance Commissioner David Melville. "One crash is one too many but almost 13,000 in seven months is ridiculous."
