Abstract

Each fatal traffic accident in the United States is investigated by the police and a coroner or medical examiner who certifies the cause of death on a standard death certificate. By looking at the whole crash sequence, pre-crash causes, the vehicles as they collide, the injuries to occupants and emergency treatment, each of us involved in crash investigation can play some role in the prevention of crashes or in the reduction of injuries.
