Overview
- ACI‑Istat’s preliminary tally counts 82,344 injury crashes (-1.3%), 111,090 injured (-1.2%) and 1,310 deaths (-6.8%) versus the first half of 2024.
- Fatalities rose on motorways by 4.4%, while deaths fell on urban roads by 8.4% and on extra‑urban roads by 7.1%.
- Against the EU’s 2019 baseline, crashes are down 1.5%, injuries 5.0% and deaths 14.6%, with motorway deaths 33.4% lower than in H1 2019.
- Daily averages equate to about 455 crashes, 614 injured and just over seven deaths across Italy.
- Road deaths have fallen roughly 60% since 2001, yet the recent slowdown and the data’s preliminary status underline the challenge of meeting the 2030 goal.
