This site is updated daily - for any live holiday period - the number of fatalities (figures in red) will equal the period to date figure, which becomes final (in black) at the end of the period. The data used here is provisional and subject to change, for more accurate figures for early years (pre 2022) please refer to the annual crash statistics: Annual Crash Statistics: https://www.transport.govt.nz/statistics-and-insights/safety-annual-statistics/


It is not a holiday in New Zealand today
