Reduction in road death numbers across county

The number of people killed in crashes on Lincolnshire's roads fell in 2025, the county's road safety partnership has said.

The organisation said 37 people had died in 34 incidents over the past 12 months.

Officials said the figure was a decrease compared with 2024 when 45 collisions resulted in 51 deaths.

Steve Bachelor, manager of the partnership, said he welcomed the figures but added: "We recognise that any fatality or serious injury is one too many."

He added: "Behind each of these figures is an individual with family and friends who will have to cope and manage with the aftermath of these collisions, so the importance of our work continues unabated."

The partnership said 376 people had suffered serious injuries in 2025 which was slightly less than the 2024 total of 378.

However the number of collisions resulting in serious injuries had increased from 310 to 329 over the same period.

Batchelor said: "We can all make the difference today by adhering to our ABC of road safety – avoid distractions, be patient, and concentrate.

"It is our own personal responsibility when using our roads that will truly make the difference in continuing to reduce the heartache that far too many are impacted by."
