The data is taken from official government statistics from records submitted by the police.

According to the official CrashMap website, a total of 48 fatalities on Hampshire roads were recorded from 2010 to 2020.

The road with the highest number of deaths is a stretch of the dual carriageway A303 south and west of Andover with six deaths. The number does not included the three drivers killed by an alleged drug driver last month.
