January-June 2024 and 2025: the split by injury is the first-published one, repeated unchanged in the next January-June release (2025: 63 killed, 221 seriously and 1,113 slightly injured, adding up to 1,397; 2024: 69, 252 and 1,167, adding up to 1,488), while the revised totals are 1,610 and 1,535 (D11). The revised split is not published, so the overview does not compare these series with those half-years.
