Before you use it
Does it include every car accident in Queensland?
No. It holds the crashes reported to police that met the publisher's criteria, so a minor collision that nobody reported is not here. Property damage only crashes stop after 31 December 2010, and from then on a crash needs a casualty or a tow to be included.
Why are the most recent months lower than expected?
The publisher treats the last 12 months of each release as preliminary, because a police investigation can take up to a year to finalise. The counts for those months rise in later releases.
Where is the Queensland road toll in this data?
Each crash row carries count_casualty_fatality, and the Road casualties table has fatalities counted by year, police region, age group and road user type. The department also publishes a road toll separately and updates it more often, so the two can differ for recent months.
