Assuming that you are referring to those who have been killed or
seriously injured on the roads in the last year, or will likely be so
next year, the true figure is about 3500 individuals annually. This
doesn't come from the Daily Mail, but from officially published
statistics presumably collected by the police, emergency services and
hospitals.

So where does your figure of 30,000 come from? You call it "families
affected", and it's possible that one KSI may "affect" more than one
family so multiplying the number, but OTOH an accident affecting more
than one family member would lower it.

In the words you don't seem to understand, it is most definitely
"arrant ********". Unless of course you would like to provide an
authorative source for it - you are not such a source, and neither is
your local paper.
