What this site did to the data. Cells were typed, headers were renamed and the encoding was made UTF-8. Rows were left alone. The publisher's file sits beside every version as source.csv so the change can be checked.

The publisher releases Crash data from Queensland roads as 6 files at once, so all 6 tables here share a version date.
