Road death toll hits record low

Nine people a day died on Britain's roads in 2004
The number of people who died on UK roads last year fell to 3,221, - the lowest since records began in 1926.

The figures are 8% lower than 2003, when the number of highway deaths rose slightly compared to the year before.

It comes four years after the government set a target to cut the 1994-1998 road deaths average by 40%.

Road Safety Minister Stephen Ladyman said while the figures were encouraging nearly nine people a day still died on roads last year, which was "too high".
