For drivers checking a closure before they set off, and for planners, councils and campaigners who need the collision evidence.

Live closures by road

National Highways and Traffic Wales

Every road has its own page with live incidents, roadworks, planned overnight closures and recently cleared events.

Evidence you can trust

Official STATS19 data, refreshed annually

Every police-reported injury collision, with its severity, vehicles, casualties and the road conditions recorded at the time.

Interactive mapping

High-resolution coordinates

Visualise hotspots instantly with configurable basemaps and filters, ready for stakeholder workshops or community consultations.

Site studies with Pro

Any site, radius or route

Screen the collision record around a development site or along a route, then export it for your report.

Build evidence-based road safety strategies

CrashView unites 9,116,625 detailed collision records with contextual data so you can benchmark road safety performance, highlight hotspots and justify investment. Use the accident explorer to surface trends by road class, time of day, weather and vehicle involvement before taking the discussion into meetings or public consultations.

Because every dataset is cached and optimised for speed, you receive instant responses even when interrogating millions of records. That responsiveness encourages wider use across your organisation, elevating road safety from a one-off report to an ongoing, collaborative discipline.

Regional reports take the heavy lifting out of stakeholder updates. They combine descriptive statistics, severity ratios and commentary so non-technical audiences understand risk at a glance. Full reports and PDF downloads are included with Pro.

Designed for measurable impact

Whether you are targeting Vision Zero outcomes, preparing grant submissions or assessing a development site, CrashView provides the evidence base. Align interventions with the corridors that show persistent harm, build consensus with communities through clear storytelling and demonstrate the effectiveness of your programmes over time.

  • Spotlight locations where fatal or serious collisions are rising, even if overall volumes are falling.
  • Quantify exposure for fleets, logistics partners or on-demand services operating in busy urban areas.
  • Share concise intelligence with councillors, executives and public health colleagues to accelerate decisions.

When you need the record for a specific site, CrashView Pro runs a collision study for any point, radius or route. Compare it with what your highway authority charges for a formal extract.

Frequently asked questions

Live road closures, the STATS19 accident data and CrashView Pro.

How do I check if a road is closed?

Type the road number, such as A303 or M25, into the road search at the top of this page. Each road page lists the live closures, incidents and roadworks reported by National Highways and Traffic Wales, with upcoming planned closures and recently cleared incidents.

Where does the CrashView data come from?

Live closures come from the National Highways and Traffic Wales feeds. Accident data comes from the Department for Transport's STATS19 dataset, which records every police-reported injury collision on public roads in Great Britain.

How often is the data updated?

Live closures are checked every few minutes. The accident data is updated once a year, when the Department for Transport publishes the next validated year of STATS19.

What does CrashView Pro include?

Pro is for people who need the collision record for a particular place: collision studies for any site, radius or route, filters, CSV, Excel, GeoJSON and PDF exports, and every regional collision report with PDF download. It costs £49 a month, with a 14-day free trial that does not need a card.
