Vehicle one, a 1997 Ford Escort was traveling south in lane two of a four lane,
divided highway. Vehicle two, a 2001 Chevrolet Impala, was traveling in the
same direction in lane one, slightly ahead of vehicle one. Vehicle one moved
into lane one and contacted the rear of vehicle two (event one) this impact
caused the driver of vehicle two lose control of the vehicle. Vehicle two went
into a clockwise yaw and moved onto the right shoulder. Vehicle two then struck
the rear of vehicle three, a parked tractor-trailer, with its front (event
two). This impact fatally injured the driver of vehicle two and caused
non-incapacitating injuries to the right front passenger. The driver of vehicle
one brought her vehicle to a controlled stop on the right shoulder. She was
reported to have received possible injuries. The driver of vehicle three was
uninjured. Police at the scene relayed witness reports that vehicle one was
operating in an erratic manner swerving back and forth on the roadway. The
driver of vehicle one told police that she believed she was going into insulin
shock as she was a diabetic and she was attempting to find some place to get
food. However post crash inspection revealed the presence of substantial amounts
of soda, candy and other snacks in the vehicle. Post-crash blood tests
performed on the driver placed her blood sugar in the low-normal range; however
the driver claimed that she tested her blood sugar immediately after the crash
and found it to be dangerously low. The police speculate that the driver will
likely face manslaughter charges for failure to control her medical condition or
for reckless driving. The driver has retained both a civil and criminal
attorney. In an interview with the driver of vehicle three he reported that
he had stopped to take a brief rest when he felt the impact from vehicle two.
The safety director of the motor carrier reported that he had stopped to take a
roadside bathroom break and was not in the truck when the impact occurred. The
police said that technically trucks are not supposed to stop on this section of
the interstate for non-emergency reasons. However this is not widely observed or
enforced as there are very few designated rest areas on this stretch of

Vehicle 1, a 1998 Chevrolet Prism, was traveling north in lane one of a two lane
divided highway at dawn approaching a controlled intersection. Vehicle 2, a
2002 Volvo tractor pulling one trailer, was traveling south on the same highway
in lane two of the opposing lanes approaching the same intersection. At the
intersection the tractor-trailer moved into the left turn lane and initiated a
u-turn intending to enter the northbound lanes. The driver had a green light
when he initiated his turn from the southbound lanes, the intersection had no
red or green arrow controls. Vehicle 1 also faced a green signal as it
arrived at the intersection. The tractor-trailer had completed about 160 degrees
of the u-turn when vehicle one struck the right side of the trailer 7.6 meters
aft of the front of the trailer. The driver of vehicle 1 did apply the brakes
before striking vehicle 2. Vehicle 1 left approximately 22 meters of skidmarks
before point of impact. Vehicle 1 completely penetrated the underside of the
trailer emerging from the left side of the trailer. The roof was sheared from
vehicle 1 and the driver was fatally injured by this event. Vehicle 1 then came
to rest on the shoulder of the northbound lanes. Both drivers should have
had a clear line of sight between the vehicles. The collision occurred on a
straight flat stretch of roadway with a gentle slope and no significant visual
obstructions between the opposing lanes. After the accident the truck driver
stated he was completely unaware of the presence of vehicle 1 until it struck
his trailer. People present at the scene indicated that this intersection is
frequently used by trucks delivering to the shopping center on the same roadway
about one-half mile north of the intersection. The truck drivers take this
u-turn because it provides easier access to the loading ramps of the shopping
center than the left turn access provided at the shopping center. Follow up
conversations with the investigating officer revealed that as of yet no charges
have been filed against the truck driver. Charges are pending on the decision of
the state' s attorney office. The investigating officer commented that
manslaughter or gross negligence charges are unlikely, the driver will probably
be charged with failure to yield. Also, methadone was found to be in the
possession of the car driver after the accident. Postmortem analysis detected
the presence of methadone in the car driver's system.

Vehicle 1, a 1999 Plymouth Breeze, was southbound in lane 2 of the 2 southbound
lanes of a 4 lane interstate. The northbound and southbound lanes were divided
by a grassy median. Vehicle 2, a 2001 International medium sized tow truck,
was standing, unoccupied, with its motor and emergency lights running, on the
right shoulder of the southbound lanes of the same roadway. The right shoulder
is 3.1 meters wide and V2 did not appear to be intruding into lane one.
The bituminous roadway is straight, level, conforms to AASHTO sight/stopping
distance requirements, is heavily traveled but displays no deficiencies or
restrictions. The crash occurred on a Monday morning during rush hour just
before daylight. The road was icy due to a freezing rain that had moved into
the area an hour before the crash. There were multiple spin out crashes along
that stretch of roadway as a result of the icy conditions prior to this crash.
One of these involved a single vehicle step van that slid off the
southbound roadway and rolled over in the right ditch. Vehicle 2 was summoned
to this crash, responded and parked on the right shoulder. The driver had
exited the vehicle and walked toward the wrecked truck. He had not yet hooked
up to it but he had lowered the rear "stinger" bar of the tow truck to within
10" of the ground. This stinger bar is placed in contact with the ground when
the tow truck is in position to extricate a vehicle and the winch is engaged. A
police patrol car was parked on the right shoulder ahead of V2 with it's
emergency lights flashing attending to the step van crash. As V1 was
approaching this crash scene, the driver lost control and went into a clockwise
yaw. Vehicle 1, left, contacted vehicle 2's back left corner, pushing V2
forward along the shoulder. Vehicle 1 then rebounded and came to rest in the
center median facing west. Direct damage to vehicle 1 was primarily to the
driver's door area with the driver possibly contacting the LB corner of V2 with
his head. Both drivers were familiar with the roadway and their vehicles.
Neither drugs nor alcohol appeared to be a factor in the crash. Vehicle 2 was
new and all lights and emergency flashers were functioning properly. The tire
tread on V1's tires were all found to be 60 to 70% worn. The police
report notes a hazardous action for V1 "driving too fast for conditions". This,
in addition to the weather/road conditions and the lack of tread on V1's tires,
were thought to contribute to this crash. There were no indications that V2's
position or driver actions contributed to the crash. EMS personnel failed
to revive the restrained, single occupant/driver of V1 and he expired at the
scene. He was transported by the medical examiner. The driver of V2 was
uninjured. V1 was towed. V2 was driven from the scene.

during the rollover, struck a tree with the right roof side rail (top and right
top damage pattern) sustaining most of the crush and it came to rest as the tree
bent downward allowing the vehicle to rotate onto its roof at that point. The
vehicle was towed due to damage. The driver was able to get out of the
vehicle under her own power; the driver assisted in the removal of the 23 month
old right front passenger who was restrained in a child safety seat. The

location they assume he was on his way home. The drivers blood alcohol level
was 0.18. V2 was driven by a 25 year old male that just finished truck
driving school and had been driving for a large carrier for three months. He
was belted and not injured and stated that he didn't see V1 until a split second

flashing yellow for V2 and were functioning properly. The intersection was dark
and unlit. Sight/stopping distances for both vehicles exceeded AASHTO
requirements, there were no sight line or traffic flow restrictions and there
were no roadway design deficiencies. Traffic volume was light. The roadway was
wet, a light rain was falling, winds were gusting to 25mph and it was
approximately 45 degrees F. The driver of V1, a 22-year old male, had
driven approximately 160 miles from out of state, where he attended college,

proceeding to final rest off the road in the southwest corner of the
intersection. The driver of V1 received a hazardous action for disregarding a
traffic signal with further charges pending. The driver of V2 was not cited.
Neither excessive speed, alcohol, drugs or aggressive driving were found to
be factors in this crash. Only the driver of V2 appeared to take evasive
action. Contributing factors seem to be the failure of the driver of V1 to
yield the right of way, his unfamiliarity of the road and possibly the
atmospheric conditions. It is unknown if fatigue, personal concerns or
distractions on the part of V1's driver were also contributing factors.

tree. V1 rotated counterclockwise 180 degrees and the right side of V1
contacted a tree. V1 was towed due to vehicle damage. The driver and passenger
were transported and hospitalized due to their injuries. The front right
passenger was pregnant, in her third trimester at an estimated 27 weeks. She
was seated in an normal upright posture with the seat track adjusted to a rear
track position and the seat back reclined to a normal upright position. The
passenger was not wearing the manual 3-point lap and shoulder belt system.
Immediately prior to impact, she braced with her right hand against the door
mounted handle and most likely extended her left arm forward in a bracing motion
toward the mid mount front right passenger air bag module. At impact, the
frontal air bag system deployed. Her left hand/arm was contacted by the
expanding air bag membrane which displaced her arm rearward into her face. As a
result, the passenger sustained a probable self-inflicted nasal fracture from
the hand contact. Additionally, she sustained a chip fractured that resulted
indirectly from the air bag expansion due to a ligament pull associated with the
arm displacement. The front right passenger initiated a forward
trajectory in response to the frontal crash forces. Her right hand loaded into
the door handle which transmitted the loading force into the forearm fracturing
the right radius mid shaft. The combination of her left arm interaction with
the redesigned frontal air bag and her subsequent face and torso loading of the
bag redirected the air bag in an upward direction. This exposed the protruding
mid instrument panel above the glove box door. Her protruding abdomen impacted
the mid instrument panel, displacing the panel and the vent louvers. Although
no soft tissue injury occurred, the passenger sustained a placental abruption.
She was transported to a local hospital where an emergency C-section was
performed. The fetus was delivered, however, the baby expired following

lost. V1 veered off the road to the right and contacted a tree with its front.
V1 was towed due to damage. The driver of V1 was transported and hospitalized
due to injuries received. Vehicle damage to the roof structure was indicative
of a possible left side roll as a result of the initial impact with the tree.
However, the direct damage supporting data to the side planes, and pattern of
roof crush, combined with the vehicle's post-impact trajectory invalidated this
scenario; as the roof displacement was attributed to post-crash fire and heat
damage. This was further evidenced by PAR and driver interview data.

Vehicle 1, a 1996 Chevrolet S-10 pickup, was merging from a cloverleaf entrance
ramp onto the 3 eastbound lanes of a wet, bituminous, 6 lane, divided
interstate. Vehicle 2, a 1994 conventional Kenworth tractor pulling a 1994
Utility refrigerated trailer loaded with 43,794lbs. of fruit, was eastbound in
lane 2 of the same interstate. V1 lost control as it entered the freeway, went
into a counterclockwise yaw and slid sideways into lane 2. The front of V2
struck the right side of V1, causing V1 to continue to rotate to the right where
its right front struck V2's right front. V1 spun off the road to the right
coming to rest partially on the right shoulder while V2 came to a controlled
stop on the right shoulder. Both vehicles were towed due to damage
caused by the crash. The truck and its trailer were both found to have
pre-crash mechanical defects which put it out of service in addition to its
damage. The lone occupant of V1 was injured, sought his own treatment
later and released. The lone occupant of V2 was uninjured. The driver of
V1 stated that he was unfamiliar with the entrance ramp. He also stated that he
had an 80lb toolbox in the back of the truck that shifted to the left while he
was negotiating the right curving entrance ramp in the rain. Upon examination,
the vehicle's tires were worn and also probably contributed to the driver's loss
of control. The driver was properly licensed for the vehicle and no drugs or
alcohol were found to be present for him. The driver of V2 was properly
licensed for his vehicle, did not appear to be under the influence of drugs or
alcohol. His vehicle was found to have bald tires and inoperable brakes on the
trailer and this may have contributed to the severity of the crash. The
roadway was found to have no defects and conformed to all AASHTO sight/stopping
requirements. A hard rain beginning only minutes before the crash may have made
the roadway slippery. The wet roadway, coupled with V1's driver's
unfamiliarity with the ramp, a shifting load and worn tires on his pickup, were
the main contributors to the crash. The mechanical condition of V2
possibly contributed to the severity of the crash.

with the torso turned clockwise and the lower extremities facing forward (with
the lap belt holding the lower body in place) the majority of the injuries are
probably from the right c-pillar. There is a lower abdomen bruise indicative of
the lap portion only and the shoulder belt placed around the back of the captain
chair. 12 yr. old: Based on the injury pattern, this person is most likely
sitting in the right rear seating position. The injuries indicate the occupant
is most likely turned counter-clockwise (looking out backlight) based on the
left abdomen seatbelt pattern and left scapula fx. The 12 yr. old's close
proximity to the side panel intrusion and subsequent contact to the seat back
placed this occupant at a high risk of shoulder injuries and minor soft tissue
injuries from the flying glass turned in this abnormal posture. 8yr. old: The
injury pattern indicates this occupant was not in proximity of the intrusion
with only the lap belt soft tissue injury and is most likely seated in the third
left seating position and improperly wore the shoulder portion of the safety

The crash occurred on an urban interstate interchange area which carries 100,170
vehicles per day based on 2001 traffic counts. At the point of impact there
are two eastbound lanes and an entrance ramp merge lane with shoulders divided
by a concrete barrier wall from three westbound lanes with shoulders. The crash
occurred in dry, clear conditions at 12:34 on a Friday afternoon. The location
is notorious for traffic slowdowns as it is a bottleneck area where several
eastbound lanes merge into two within one mile with a speed limit of 55mph.
All four vehicles involved were traveling east in the right eastbound lane.
V3, a 2002 Freightliner tractor with semi van trailer, was behind the other
vehicles and was unable to stop as traffic slowed and rear-ended V1 which was a
1990 Mercury Sable station wagon. This caused a chain reaction with front of V1
and V3 both striking the rear of V4, a 1983 Peterbilt tractor with semi tanker
trailer. V4 was then pushed into the rear of a 1998 Dodge Caravan, V2. After
impact V3 and V1 burst into flames as all vehicles came to rest facing east with
V3 on top of V1 in the original travel lane, V4 in the left lane, and V2 on the
right shoulder. The drivers gave varying accounts of speed at impact.
The driver of the lead minivan, V2, estimated his speed at 55mph and stated
there were no vehicles immediately in front of him. V4's driver judged his
truck's speed at 30-35mph and indicated he was not on the brake or accelerator
at the time of the crash. In police interviews the driver of V3 stated he
checked his mirrors and then looked forward to see V1's brake lights and traffic
stopped. He estimated his speed to be 45-50mph when he hit his brakes and
wasn't able to stop in time to avoid the collision. Police unsuccessfully
attempted to retrieve the data recorder information from V3 and also couldn't
use skid marks to reconstruct speed due to the severe fire and water damage to
the truck and pavement. Based on interviews with drivers and witness' along
with knowledge of traffic patterns the police belief that traffic had slowed
abruptly to a speed somewhere between 5-25mph when V3 rear-ended V1 traveling
50-65mph. V1 had five female occupants on their way home from a
relatives house. They were approximately three miles from their residence when
the crash occurred and all were DOA. The station wagon was driven by a 37-year
old female. Her three daughters ages 4, 8, and 10 were in the vehicle along
with her 76-year old mother. All occupants were belted and the four-year old
was in a child seat, the vehicle also had a deployed driver airbag. V2
was driven by a 34-year old male that was treated and released with minor
injuries. Damage to the minivan was minor. V3's driver was a 22-year old
male driving for a large carrier on a 750 mile trip hauling 27,000 pounds of
breakfast bars. He was belted and not injured. GPS records from the vehicle
show that the driver picked up the load the day prior to the crash, drove a few
hours and then stopped for the night. The vehicle was stopped from 5:35pm until
8:41am the morning of the crash when the driver continued on the trip. State
truck inspectors and mechanics were able to inspect the brakes of the burned
tractor and trailer and found all brakes well within range and did not detect
any other vehicle related violations. At the time of case release charges have
not yet been filed while the police continue to pursue retrieval of data
recorder information but the district attorney expects to charge V3's driver
with five counts of vehicular manslaughter or homicide. V4 was traveling
on a 75 mile trip home after unloading its asphalt cargo. It was driven by a
36-year old male for a small local carrier. The driver was treated and released
with minor injuries due to the semi tank trailer contacting the back of the
cab. Citations were issued for 5th wheel failure and two brakes out of

Vehicle 1, a 1988 Toyota Corolla 4-door, was northbound on a 2-lane, bituminous,
rural roadway approaching an intersection with a rural, 2-lane, bituminous,
minor arterial, county roadway. V1's roadway was controlled at the intersection
by stop signs for both northbound and southbound while the intersecting roadway
was not controlled. Vehicle 2, an empty 1987 Ford LTS 9000 tandem axle dump
truck, pulling an empty 1999 Etnyre, tri-axle, excavation equipment-hauling
trailer, was westbound on the county road approaching the same intersection. V1
attempted to pass through the intersection, crossing the path of V2 from its
left to right. V2's front contacted V1's right side causing V1 to rotate
clockwise. V1 was then struck again on its right side by V2's trailer,
continued to rotate clockwise, struck a stop sign with its back and backed to
final rest against a fence causing damage to its right front. After striking
V1, V2 went off the roadway to the right, contacted a utility pole with its
front right and started rotating clockwise. As it jackknifed to the right, it
contacted a street sign, a metal fence and row of shrubs with its left side
while sliding to final rest. The jackknife caused intraunit contact to the
right side of the trailer tongue and the right rear tandem axle wheel.

airlifted to a trauma center, hospitalized for 13 days and then died as a result
of her injuries. The unrestrained driver (and single occupant) of V2 was
injured, transported and released. Both vehicles were towed as a result
of damage sustained in the crash. A level one inspection was performed on
V2 and both vehicles were inspected by researchers. There were no indications of
mechanical failures contributing to the causation of the crash. Both drivers
were properly licensed for, and familiar with, their vehicles. There was no
indication of drug or alcohol use on the part of either driver. The
roadway was dry, it was daylight and there were no adverse weather conditions.
The roadway adhered to AASHTO sight/stopping distance requirements with no
defects or restrictions. Possible contributing factors to the crash were:
(1) The driver of V1 was not very familiar with the area. (2) The driver of V1
was possibly distracted by conversing with the passenger and "looking at the
colors" while out for a Sunday drive. (3) The driver of V1 failed to stop for
the stop sign, may have had his view to the right blocked by a large vehicle
ahead of him which turned right or may have thought that the intersection was a
4-way stop. He can't remember if he stopped or not. The driver of V2 and a
witness following V1 agree that V1's failure to stop was obvious enough that
each knew that a crash was going to be unavoidable. The driver of V2 saw V1
approach the intersection, recognized the situation, braked heavily but could
not avoid impacting V1. Excessive speed on the part of V2 did not appear to be

spin clockwise across the ramp's travel lanes and off the roadway. Scuff marks
at the scene and wheel damage to the S-10, support a left side leading rollover
that began on the paved shoulder. V1 continued to roll off the right side
roadside until it struck a tree with its right side. V1 finally came to rest on
its wheels facing west. V2 drove to the right shoulder, just ahead of where the
first impact took place. The driver of V1 sustained "B" injuries and was
hospitalized. The right front passenger of V1 died at the scene. The driver V2
was not injured. The driver of V1 said he was familiar with the area, but
doesn't usually take the exit ramp. He said he had enough room to complete the
lane change maneuver, and almost completed the move, before it was struck in the
rear by V2. He believes V2's driver intentionally sped up to prevent his lane
change. The driver of V2 said he never saw the Chevrolet until he crashed
into it. He reported that V1 swerved in front of him without any warning, and
that he didn't use his brakes until after the impact. Two witnesses that
were traveling ahead of V1 and V2, were able to describe what happened after
the initial impact, but could not recall any actions before the first critical
event. A post-crash inspection of the Volvo found several mechanical
violations, including a brake out of adjustment, a loose torsion bar and an air
leak in the air line. The truck was put out of service and repaired on the
scene. No traffic violations were issued to the driver. A motor vehicle record
check of V2's driver found only one accident in the past five years and no
violations. V1's driver said he did not receive a ticket for this crash. A
review of his motor vehicle record reflects four other moving violations and one

This crash happened on a Friday afternoon in a rural part of town. It was a
warm, sunny November day. The sky was clear, the roadway was dry and there was
very little traffic. The two vehicles involved in this crash included a
1993 Chevrolet Astro Van (V1) and a 1999 Volvo tractor trailer (V2) loaded with
3500 lbs. of freight. V1 was traveling south on a two-lane undivided road
approaching an intersecting east-west roadway. There was a stop sign at the
intersection for V1. V2 was headed west on the two-lane, intersecting road.
As V2 approached the intersection, V1 attempted to turn left by entering V2's
travel lane. The front end of V2 struck the left side of V1. There were skid
marks from the truck that indicated an avoidance maneuver, but they were in an
area that shows the truck did not have time to stop. V2 continued to push V1 off
the southern edge of the roadway and onto a grassy shoulder. V2 came to rest in
a ditch. The driver of the van died immediately and its right front passenger
was hospitalized. The truck driver was not injured. The passenger of the
van did not speak English, but told the interpreter that his daughter was
turning left at the intersection and the large truck was speeding. He did not
give a very detailed account of the events. The truck driver said he remembers
taking his foot off the accelerator when he saw the van approach the
intersection. He immediately locked his brakes and steered left when he realized
the van wasn't going to stop. Witness support the truck driver's accounts,
reporting that V1's driver did not stop for the stop sign before she turned
left. Visibility of these vehicles is not an issue as there were no
environmental obstructions and the truck driver reported having seen the van
approach the intersection. A scene inspection did not discover any line of sight
issues either. A post crash inspection of the truck did not discover
any mechanical problems. A motor vehicle record check of the truck driver showed
a relatively clean history. He was involved in one crash and received one
citation in the past five years. A motor vehicle record check of the van's
driver found she was a new driver. She was issued a Learner's Permit seven
months prior to the crash, which restricted her to driving with a licensed
driver for six months. She completed the six months training only eight days

rotate counterclockwise. Vehicle one departed the road on the left (in a lateral
motion of travel) and subsequently traversed a shallow ditch as the right front
wheel struck the ditch backslope (embankment). The right front wheel seperated
from the vehicle. This intial impact initiated a one quater turn right side
rollover resulting in minor damage. At this point, the vehicle was oriented
approximately 65 degrees off its longitudinal axis as the right and top surfaces
struck a large diameter tree resulting in severe damage. The vehicle rebounded
off the tree impact and struck two additional large diameter trees resulting in
additional moderate top damage. Following the final tree impact, the vehicle
came to rest on its wheels facing north. The driver was completely ejected from
the vehicle during the (non-horizontal) tree impacts. Both air bags deployed.

the orange construction barrels because it was found to be knocked down and out
of position. There were paint transfers from the construction barrel on V1's
LFBC. Before or after V1 impacted the construction barrel, the front right
bumper corner of V1 scraped against some type of barrier, causing sideswipe type
damage down the right side of V1. V1 continued traveling south after this
