ICBC has released data that shows the locations with the highest number of crashes in the Lower Mainland.

In it recent update, the auto-insurance provider stated that it is sharing extensive crash and vehicle population data with the public on its website.

Vehicle population data includes various fields such as municipality, vehicle type or area based on the first three characters of a postal code. Crash data can be filtered to the details of an individual crash, including the street and crash configuration (for example, rear end, head on or side impact). As an example, users can filter crash data to municipality level by severity, street name and identify whether a pedestrian or cyclist was involved.

"Making sure the public is well-informed and supported is a priority," said Nicolas Jimenez, ICBC's president and CEO. "We'll continue to expand the data available on icbc.com to better support customers, researchers, media and stakeholders."

Last year, ICBC reports that there were a staggering 295,000 collisions in British Columbia. However, this figure is down from the previous year, which saw 315,000 crashes. In total, there have been 1,575,567 crashes in the Province since 2015.

In Vancouver there were 52,222 crashes in 2019, down from 55,258 in 2018. Since 2015, there have been 283,269 cashes.
