When it comes to driving around Derbyshire, some of the routes across the county can be pretty scary – but which A-roads should drivers be most wary of?
We have analysed figures from Crashmap, which uses Government data to map out where collisions have taken place that have led to injuries or fatalities between 2023 and 2025.
We then tallied up the number of accidents that occurred on a number of busy routes to find which were the most dangerous – and the results are listed in the gallery below. Statistics were compiled for multiple key A-roads across the county, but the list below is not exhaustive.
