Response
The Scottish Police Authority does not hold the information requested.
The Authority provides governance and oversight of policing in Scotland and does not hold information on operational policing matters.
Information may be available by contacting Police Scotland at foi@scotland.police.uk
You may also wish to refer to Police Scotland’s Disclosure Log where requests relating to road traffic collisions are signposted to data from 2020 to date available on the Police Scotland website - Road traffic collision data - Police Scotland.
The Road traffic collisions can then be mapped to their specific locations using the filters on locations/ road names and/ or the Eastings and Northings.
Similar data going back to the mid-1990s is available on the Department for Transport website - Road Safety Data - data.gov.uk.
You may however find it easier to refer to CrashMap - UK Road Safety Map which displays Road Traffic Collision drawn from these sources into a more user-friendly map format.
