The figures show that during the last five years, 763 children aged between 11 and 13 were injured in road collisions, with three of them tragically killed, and 169 suffering serious injuries.

Of these, half were pedestrians and 26% were cyclists, with boys accounting for two-thirds of the total casualties and all of the fatalities.
