Abstract

Road trains consist of a prime mover with two or more trailers attached, and are used extensively by the agricultural and mining industries in the rural and remote regions of the state. For the five year period 1988-1992, 91 crashes involving road trains were identified in the Road Injury Database of the Road Accident Prevention Research Unit, Department of Public Health, the University of Western Australia. This database consists of linked data from police crash records, hospital admission records, ambulance records and death registry records. Police crash report forms were then examined to obtain more details of each crash. (A)
