RTCs and people doing dangerous things in cars, reported in 2025

29 Jan

This blog is a rolling tally of Road Traffic Collisions (RTCs) and incidents of antisocial, illegal or down right dangerous driving reported by the Worcester News in 2025. We’ll try to only have a single link to multiple crashes (there are often multiple articles) and will endeavour to not count any reports on historical crashes that are now in court; but please point out any errors and we’ll try and correct. Each image should link to the Worcester News article.

Our deepest sympathies go out to anyone injured, or the families of anyone killed in any RTC, and equally to the owners of any property damaged. The blog is written to raise awareness of the problem of RTCs in Worcester and the surrounding area, with the aim of changing the perception around the risks posed by people driving, and to ultimately improve driving standards and reduce road harm.

As the year progresses we may expand the text in the blog to comment on certain matters, for instance the language used in police and witness statements, and used in news reporting. It is common for the term ‘accident’ to be used, however around 90% of RTCs involve some form of human error.

The rolling total of RTCs and other antisocial / dangerous / illegal behaviour by motorists reported by the Worcester News in 2025 is:
