The number of collisions from which someone suffered serious injuries fell by 43% last year, from 44 in 2019 to 25 in 2020.
There was a 22% drop in collisions from which people suffered non-serious injuries, falling from 134 in 2019 to 105.
Chief Superintendent of the Kerry Garda Division, Eileen Foster, says this decrease was mainly due to the reduced number of vehicles on the roads in 2020.
