HC Deb 25 January 1956 vol 548 cc20-1W
Dr. Broughton

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation how many fatal accidents were caused by passengers, who had alighted from public transport vehicles and walked round the back of the stationary vehicle, being struck by oncoming traffic, in the hours of daylight and at night, respectively, during twelve months up to the latest convenient date.

Mr. Watkinson

Information in the form requested is not available. The number of accidents during the twelve months ending 31st October, 1955, involving death or personal injury, in which the main contributory factor was a pedestrian crossing the road masked by a stationary vehicle was 10,766.
