Abstract

Using a variety of motor vehicle data sources in computer storage, the etiological and medical aspects of rear-end collisions were studied. The data sources indicate that one fourth of all motor vehicle collisions are of the rear-end type yet account for only 1-4% of the fatalities. Rear enders occur five times more often in urban than in rural areas and are five time more frequent than head-on collisions.
