At the lower level, these levels of severity are shown separately. Slight severity is always shown as a separate set. This structure may be represented as follows:
| + | |

| - | *KSI (an abbreviation for 'Killed or Seriously Injured')
| + | |
| - | **Fatal
| + | |
| - | **Serious
| + | |

| - | *Slight

| - | | + | |
| - | *Unknown (representing any instance where severity is missing from the STATS19 return, which should rarely if ever occur)
