Dear sir/madam, I'm writing to you under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 to request some figures around car crashes.
I would like a breakdown of what are the 5 most common causes of car crashes registered both in Guernsey and also in Jersey over the last 12 months. If I could get the figures as a break down month by month starting with May 2021.
