Vehicle 1 was heading south in the 1st lane of a 6-lane concrete divided
expressway that has a positive concrete barrier. The roadway was dry concrete
and curved to the right. As vehicle 1 was going through the curve it departed
the roadway on the right side. Going up a small embankment the front of the
vehicle sheared off a 4 x 6 wood post. After this impact the vehicle rotated
clockwise a little and the left side contacted a small metal pole and then a
concrete bridge. The vehicle continued to spin clockwise and the back contacted
the bridge again. The finally spun back out onto the highway and came rest in
the center lane facing in a south easterly direction. The vehicle was towed due
to damage. The only occupant of this vehicle was transported to a local trauma
center where he was treated and released for his injuries. This occupant was
wearing his safety belt properly and the frontal air bags did deploy.
V1 and V2 were traveling southbound on a snow covered asphalt roadway with a
divided positive barrier. It was dusk and it was snowing. V1 was in the 3rd
lane and began to rotate in a clockwise direction. V1 rotated in front of V2
who was traveling in the first lane. The front of V2 contacted the right side
of V1. V1 was towed due to damage. V2 was not towed. No injuries were
reported. Both vehicles were equipped with frontal air bags neither of which
Vehicle 1 and 2 were traveling northbound on a 2 lane, snow covered concrete
roadway which was divided without a positive barrier. Vehicle 2 was in the
first lane, and vehicle 1 was in the second lane. Vehicle 1 lost control on the
snow covered roadway spinning clockwise into the path of vehicle 2 contacting
the back plane to vehicle 2's front plane. Vehicle 1 then left the right
shoulder contacting a longitudinal guardrail with the front before coming to
rest. Vehicle 1 was towed from the scene of the crash, Vehicle 2 was not
towed. Everyone was using the lap and shoulder restraints in their vehicles and
were uninjured. No air bags were deployed during the incident.
Vehicles 1 and 2 were heading north on a 3 lane, dry, asphalt expressway during
daylight hours. Vehicle 1 was in lane 1 and vehicle 2 was in lane 2. As vehicle
1 began to slide on a slick spot in the road the left front of vehicle 1
contacted the right of vehicle 2. Both vehicles veered off right onto an exit
ramp prior to final rest along the right shoulder of the ramp. Vehicle 1 was
towed. Neither driver was in need of medical assistance. Both drivers were
reported to have been wearing their seatbelts.
Vehicle 1 was heading south on a 2 lane, 2 way, slushy, asphalt roadway, during
cloudy daylight conditions. Vehicle 2 was heading north on the same roadway.
Vehicle 1 was attempting a left turn at a place where there was no road or
driveway. As she made her turn the front of vehicle 2 contacted the right side
of her vehicle, causing servere damage to the right side of vehicle 1. Vehicle
2 had moderate damage to the front which caused the frontal airbags to deploy.
The airbags in vehicle 1 also deployed. Both vehicles were towed due to damage.
All occupants involved in this crash were reported to have been wearing their
lap & shoulder belts. Occupant 1 of vehicle 1 was reported as fatal at the
scene. The three occupants in vehicle 2 were transported to a local trauma
Vehicle 1, a 2001 Dodge Dakota was traveling behind V2, a 2000 Kenworth
tractor-trailer heading northbound in the first lane of a 2-lane, divided,
concrete, expressway without positive barrier. It was dark and unlighted and
the roadway was icy. The front of vehicle 1 contacted the back of vehicle 2
causing severe damage to the front of vehicle 1. There was minor damage to
vehicle 2, which was driven from the scene. Vehicle 1 was towed from the scene
and the only occupant of vehicle 1 was transported to a local trauma center
where he was hospitalized for an ankle dislocation, sustained in part due to toe
pan intrusion. This occupant was wearing his lap & shoulder belt and the
frontal air bags deployed without any problems.
Vehicle 1 was traveling southbound on an undivided, 4 lane, dry asphalt roadway
during dark yet lighted conditions. The vehicle crossed over the center line
into oncoming travel lanes and departed the left (east) shoulder of the road.
The frontal area struck a large utility pole. Spinning in a clockwise
direction, the vehicle's back area came in contact with a large chain which was
being used as a type of fence for a used car lot at a local dealership. The
chain fence stretched out from the pressure of the sustained contact of vehicle
1 so much that it subsequently scratched the top. The vehicle was towed from
the scene of the crash since impact 1 tore the wheel from the axle. The driver
sustained injuries for which he was transported from the scene to a local trauma
facility where he was admitted for further treatment. The dual air bags
deployed without failure, and no seatbelts were used by the lone occupant.
Vehicle 1 was negotiating a right curve and heading north on a 6-lane, dry,
concrete expressway. The roadway was divided by a concrete barrier, with a
w-beam guardrail located off the right (east) pavement edge. For unknown
reasons, vehicle 1 veered to the right, exited the right (east) shoulder as the
front right area impacted the guardrail resulting in moderate damage. At this
point, the vehicle rotated sharply CCW as the right side surface impacted the
guardrail (with NO seperation in the contact damage) resulting in minor damage.
V1 was re-directed in a northwesterly direction as the vehicle subsequently
crossed the northbound lanes and exited the left (west) shoulder of the
northbound lanes. As V1 entered the center median area, the front left area
impacted the concrete barrier wall, which resulted in additional moderate
damage. V1 rotated CCW, continued frontal engagement (along the remainder of the
end structure) during spin-out off the wall and came to rest in the center
median area facing southwest. The vehicle was towed due to damage and the
occupants were transported to medical attention due to severe injuries. The
frontal airbags deployed in the crash and the lap and shoulder belts were worn
Vehicle 1 was traveling northbound on a snow covered gravel roadway during dark
but lighted conditions. The vehicle left the right shoulder of the road,
entering a small ditch and climbing a gradual embankment before contacting a
large tree with the frontal plane. The tree sheared off at the ground, as the
vehicle swung clockwise. A small tree was then contacted by the left side of
the vehicle which sheared off and then another large tree was contacted by the
left side which also sheared off before the vehicle came to final rest.
The vehicle was towed from the scene of the crash due to damage to the engine
and drive train. The driver successfully left the vehicle without
assistance. the driver sought no treatment for minor bruising to the inside of
the lower arms from the air bag deployment and both knees from the left knee
bolster. The driver was using a lap and shoulder belt restraint during the

V1 and V2 were heading north on a two-lane, two-way, icy, asphalt roadway during
daylight hours. V2 was slowing to make a left turn into a driveway. A
non-contact vehicle was behind V2 and V1 was behind that vehicle. As V1
approached V2 and the non-contact vehicle, V1 attempted to pass both vehicles.
As V1 pulled out to pass, V2 started to turn and the front of V1 contacted the
left side of V2. As V1 and V2 rotated to rest the left side of V2 contacted the
right front of V1. V1 came to rest in the ditch on the west side of the
roadway. V2 spun in a clockwise rotation and came to rest on the west side of
the roadway partly on the road. Both vehicles were towed due to damage. The
driver of V1 utilized the lap and shoulder belt. V1 was also equipped with a

roadway during dry, daylight conditions, on approach to a 4-leg intersection.
Vehicle 2 was heading north in the first lane of the same roadway as vehicle 1.
Vehicle 1 was attempting to turn left (east) and because there was a northbound
school bus waiting to make a left hand turn as well, she did not see vehicle 2
in the 1st lane. The front of vehicle 2 contacted the right side of vehicle 1
causing moderate damage to both vehicles. After the impact, vehicle 1 spun in a
clockwise rotation and came to rest near the northeast corner of the
intersection facing southwesterly. Vehicle 2 also spun clockwise and came to
rest in the 1st lane of north bound traffic facing south. Both vehicles were
towed from the scene due to damage. Both occupants involved in this crash were
wearing their lap & shoulder belts properly and their frontal airbags did
deploy. They both were transported to a local trauma center for treatment.
Occupant 1 of vehicle 1 was held overnight.
Vehicle 1 was traveling southbound at approximately 30 mph on a granular, 2 lane
road which was thawing on top, but was still slippery underneath the surface.
Approaching an intersection, ABS brakes were applied on the slippery surface and
the driver experienced a crunching and pulsating movement of the vehicle as the
brake system attempted to slow the vehicles forward movement. The vehicle
continued into the intersection and the path of east bound vehicle 2 which had
been traveling on a 2 lane, dry asphalt road which was a through traffic
designated roadway. The front of vehicle 2 contacted the right side of vehicle
1. The impact fractured the right rear wheel from the axle of vehicle 1. The
impact also caused vehicle 1 to be pushed counterclockwise and divert it's path
of travel to the southeast where it left the roadway and came to final rest in
the ditch. Both vehicles were towed from the scene of the crash. Minor
injuries were sustained by occupant 2 of vehicle 1 who refused medical
treatment. All occupants were restrained, and there were no deployed air bags
Vehicle 1 was heading south on a 2 lane, 2-way wet, gravel roadway during
cloudy, dark, unlighted conditions, on approach to a 3-leg rural intersection.
The 3-leg intersection was bordered to the southwest by a shallow ditch with an
embankment at the corner apex. The roadway had water flowing over the road. As
the vehicle went through the water the driver lost control of the vehicle.
Rotating in a clockwise pattern, the vehicle continued in a southwesterly
direction and exited the forward (south) edge of the intersecting roadway
(broadside to the embankment). As the vehicle departed the south roadedge, the
left side wheels came into contact with the embankment which initiated a
4-quarter turn left side rollover (tripover). Traveling up the embankment, and
into its second quarter turn, the vehicle right side surface struck/sheared a
small diameter (U-channel) signpost, resulting in minor (non-horizontal) damage.
At this point, the vehicle continued into an open field, while rolling the two
remaining quarter turns. The vehicle came to rest on its wheels at final rest
facing northwest (in the open field). The vehicle was towed due to damage. All

V1, a 2002 Toyota Camry was traveling south on a two lane roadway that
intersects with a four lane roadway that has center turn lanes. The
intersection is controlled by traffic signals. V2, a 1988 Dodge Dakota was
traveling east on the four lane roadway in the inside travel lane. As V1
traveled through the intersection, the front of V2 struck the right side of V1.
V1 rotated counterclockwise and came to rest in the middle of the roadway on
the east side of the intersection facing east. V2 rotated clockwise and came to
rest in the middle of the roadway on the south side of the intersection facing
southeast. Both vehicles were towed from the scene of the accident. The
driver and right front passenger of V1 were both using the 3-point safety belts.
The advanced front impact air bags did not deploy in the crash, and the
vehicle was not equipped with side impact air bags. The driver was transported
and released with a minor injury. The passenger was tranported and admitted
with a severe head injury. The belted driver in V2 was not injured.
V1 a 1994 Ford F-150 pick up was travelling east on a three lane non-physically
divided asphalt highway with two way traffic and a two way reversible left turn
lane. Conditions were daylight with a dry roadway. As the driver of V1
approached an intersection with another roadway, a non-contact vehicle turned to
the east in front of V1. The driver of V1 attempted to avoid the turning
vehicle by passing on the right shoulder. The right side of V1 entered a
ditchline, and as the driver attempted to correct, the vehicle began a
counter-clockwise rotation. V1 re-enterd the roadway and travelled northeast
crossing into the westbound travel lanes and travelling backward. V2 a 1989 Ford
Ranger pick up was travelling in the westbound lanes and the driver attempted
to brake a steer right before the back of V1 and front of V2 contacted. Both
vehicles came to rest facing west near the edge of the westbound lanes. The
non-belted driver of V1 and non-belted driver of V2 were transported to the
hospital. V1 was equipped with a driver frontal airbag which was not deployed.
V1, a 2000 Ford Excursion was eastbound on a two lane rural roadway under
dark/raining conditions with a speed limit of 30mph. As V1 exited a left
curve, V1 lost control, crossed over the center line, departed the roadway to
the left, and impacted a large diameter tree with the front. During maximum
engagement against the tree, the vehicle pitched forward (rear end off the
ground) which allowed (non-horizontal) contact to the windshield and header
area. The vehicle rotated CW and came to rest in close proximity to the point of
impact facing southeast. Both air bags deployed during impact. Unbelted
driver died as a result of injuries sustained in the event. V1 was towed from
The crash occurred on a median divided, east-west, rural interstate with three
travel lanes, a shoulder, and emergency lane in each direction. The interstate
carries 73,710 vehicles per day at the crash site and has a speed limit of
70mph. Conditions at the time were dark and dry at 1:02 a.m. on a Friday
morning. V1 was a 1992 Chevrolet Camaro traveling eastbound. For unknown
reasons the driver lost control and departed the north side of the road and
went into the median. As V1 crossed the 17m wide grass median the vehicle began
to rotate counterclockwise in the wet grass. The vehicle then entered the
westbound lanes sideways where its back right struck the left side of V3, a
westbound 2000 Peterbilt tractor with empty semi trailer traveling in the center
lane. Initial impact was to the left fuel tank area on the tractor cab and
continued down the left side of the tractor to the drive wheels, with the left
drive wheels riding over the top of V1. When the vehicles separated the left
trailer wheels also impacted the left back of the car. The car came to rest
facing south in the center lane. A witness driving a westbound tractor trailer
in the center lane behind V3 was able to avoid the crash by steering to the
right. However, V2, a 1985 Dodge 600, which was directly behind the witness
vehicle was unable to avoid striking the left back of V1 with its front. V2
and V3 came to rest on the north shoulder of the road several hundred meters
west of impact. No pre impact brake marks were present for any of the vehicles
involved. The 37-year old male driver of V1 was ejected during the crash and
was pronounced dead later that afternoon. Prior to the crash he had been
drinking with his wife at a party and had an argument with her. He left alone
and was on a one hour trip home when the crash occurred. Alcohol was present in
the vehicle. The driver of V2 fled the scene on foot before police
arrival. The 26-year old male was located several days later and charged with
leaving the scene of an accident and driving without a license. He had
outstanding warrants and his driver's license had been previously revoked.
Police also believe he had been drinking. V3 was driven by a 63-year old
male with 35 years of truck driving experience. He had been driving for three
hours leading up to the crash after sleeping for nine hours. The driver had
only accumulated 22 hours toward the 60/70 hour rule and was 200 miles into an
800 mile trip home from a delivery. He stated that he noticed lights coming
across the median briefly out of the corner of his eye a few seconds before the
collision. He reported that the lights then disappeared prior to impact which
would be consistent with V1's counterclockwise rotation. No citations were

roadway in the right travel lane, proceeding straight. For unknown reasons, V1
departed the right (south) roadedge and traversed a paved business entrance, as
the front wheels/tires made initial contact to a group of stacked landscaping
lumber resulting in moderate wheel damage (only). At this point, the initial
impact forced the front left area to rise above ground level as the front left
undercarriage subsequently struck an adjacent fire hydrant, which resulted in
moderate damage. This impact with the fire hydrant initiated a one quarter turn
rollover resulting in moderate right side surface damage. V1 continued in a
southeasterly direction as the top surface impacted a wooden utility pole, which
resulted in severe top damage. V1 came to rest (on its right side) facing east

V1, a 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix was traveling southbound on a dry asphalt roadway
which was curved left during evening hours. The roadway was set in a rural area
with 2 travel lanes without overhead lighting. The vehicle approached the
curve, leaving the right shoulder, so the driver began to steer to the left
which brought the vehicle back into the travel lane. The vehicle crossed the
northbound lane, and departed the opposite granular shoulder rolling over in the
ditch to the east. The momentum brought the vehicle up from the ditch onto the
lawn before coming to rest on it's top. Rescue was dispatched to the scene and

V1 (1990 Chevrolet Cavalier) was traveling westbound in lane 1 of a 2-lane,
two-way, dry, asphalt roadway during daylight hours approaching an intersection.
V2 (2001 Cadillac Deville) was traveling northbound in lane 1 of a 4-lane,
two-way, dry, asphalt roadway approaching the same intersection. V1 & V2
collided (EVENT 1) in northbound lane 1; the front plane of V1 and the right
plane of V2 contacted each other. Both vehicles rotated clockwise before coming
to rest shortly thereafter. V1 was driveable, but was reported towed (not
due to damage) by police. V1 sustained moderate front plane damage; it was
equipped with first row 3-point passive (automatic) restraints. V2 was towed
from the scene due to moderate right plane damage; it was equipped with dual
first row frontal and dual first row side (seatback-mounted) air bags. No air
bags deployed. V2 was also equipped with first row pretentioners--neither
actuated. V2's sole occupant was the driver. The driver was reported
uninjured and not transported to a medical facility.
V1 was traveling westbound on a dark but lighted, dry, 5-lane, 2-way road and
entered an intersection intending to go straight. V2, which was northbound on a
similar 3-lane road, was also entering the intersection intending to go
straight. The front of V1 impacted the right side of V2. The vehicles then
spun to the NW, and the left side of V1 impacted the right back of V2. Both
vehicles were towed from the scene with moderate damage. The driver of V1 and
passenger of V2 were treated and released with moderate injuries.
Driver was northbound on a wet , 2 lane expressway during the hours of darkness
when he exited the left shoulder while trying to avoid a deer. He nearly
succeeded in re-entering the roadway but the vehicle tripped and rolled to the
left, coming to rest near the shoulder (upright). The restrained driver and
front seat passenger were not injured but the unrestrained back seat passenger
was transported to the hospital, treated and released. The vehicle required
Vehicle 1 was northbound on a dry, 5 lane city street during the hours of
darkness and executing a left turn from the center lane when it was struck in
the RF fender by southbound vehicle 2. The restrained driver of V1 received a
bruise from the shoulder restraint and was transported to the hospital, treated
and released. The restrained driver of vehicle 2 recieved a bruise from the
shoulder restraint and also a knee bruise from the instrument panel. She was not
treated . Both vehicles required towing.
V1 was traveling northbound on a dark, dry, 2-lane, 2-way, dirt road and went
off the road to the right. The front of V1 impacted a tree, then spun counter-
clockwise and struck another tree with it's right side. V1 was towed from the
scene with severe damage. The 2 unrestrained occupants of V1 were fatally
V1 was traveling northbound on a dark, dry, 6-lane, divided highway. V1 went
off the road to the left, re-entered the road in a CW rotation, and began to
roll to the left. V1 rolled six quarter turns, ejecting both occupants, and
came to rest on it's top in the right lane. V1 was towed from the scene with
moderate damage. The unrestrained passenger was thrown from a lying position in
the back seat through the disintegrated backlight (ejected between quarter
turns #4 & #5 - sling shot ejection), came to rest in the left lane, and was
hospitalized with severe injuries. The restrained driver was thrown from the
seatbelt through the disintegrated LR window (ejected during quarter turn #5,
vehicle then rolls over the driver at quarter turn #6). The belt's latch plate
was broken and the webbing stretched. The driver came to rest in the middle
lane, where she was hit and dragged by a car, then by a large truck. [ It is
unknown for certain at what time she was fatally injured, but believed to be
after being dragged by a car and then large truck.] The only injuries
attributed to the case vehicle are seatbelt injuries from the injury pattern and
contact evidence on the seatbelt. The rest of the injuries documented in
the autopsy were not coded due to the difficulty distinguishing injuries from
initial contact with the ground vs. the other vehicles dragging the body. The
driver being run over by the other two vehicles, dragging the body, causing
dismemberment/disembowelment, masked any injuries sustained from initial contact
with the ground. Based on the injury descriptions documented in the autopsy
the death most likely occurred from subsequent two vehicles dragging and
dismembering the body not from the initial crash.
Vehicles 1 and 2 were northbound (both proceeding straight) on a wet, asphalt
street, on approach to a residential 4-leg intersection. The 4-leg intersection
was controlled by stop signs for east/westbound traffic. As V2 attempted to pass
V1, the front right area impacted the rear left area of V1. This initial impact
re-directed V1 into the northeast sector of the intersection as the frontal
area subsequently struck a roadside utility pole. V1 came to rest in close
proximity to the final point of impact facing northeast. Vehicle 2 fled the

The crash occurred on a barrier divided urban interstate with five travel lanes
in each direction, shoulders and emergency lanes. Conditions were dry and
daylight at 12:18pm on a Tuesday afternoon. The speed limit is 55mph and
orange construction signs were present warning of lane closures ahead. Since
construction began on the interstate approximately one mile west there have been
several similar crashes reported. The crash site lies between two major
construction zones. Through the first construction zone westbound, the roadway
narrows from five travel lanes to three-lanes and continues for four miles. The
roadway then opens up to five lanes for two miles before entering a second
separate construction zone. The POI was located one mile before (west) the
second construction zone. Vehicle #1 had traveled through the first
construction zone. V1, which was a 2003 Buick Century, was traveling
west in the fourth lane. V2, a 1996 Kenworth tractor with semi flatbed trailer,
was also westbound in the fourth lane ahead of V1. Traffic in the fourth lane
slowed to a stop for the construction ahead and V1 rear-ended V2. The offset
impact rotated V1 counterclockwise 70 degrees where it came to rest facing
south. The crash was captured on a police cruiser in-car video and clearly
shows the truck slow to a stop before being struck by V1. The truck appears
to be slowed to below 15mph for about 5 seconds and completely stopped for 1-2
seconds prior to impact. The electronic data recorder data was extracted from
the Buick and revealed a maximum SDM recorded velocity change of 37.25mph with
both frontal airbags deployed. Pre crash data graph indicates the driver hit
his brakes 2 seconds prior to algorithm enable when he was traveling at 70mph.
Using the non-deployment data from the brake application, which measured a
2.33mph max velocity change, the pre-crash speed 7 seconds prior to AE was
75mph. The time between non-deployment and deployment events was 1.5 seconds.
V1 was driven a by a 26-year old male who was unbelted in the crash. He
was traveling on a long business trip and had been driving for five hours prior
to the crash. He suffered severe right leg and hip injuries and was
hospitalized several days. During the interview he stated he was driving along
with the flow of traffic when all of the sudden the truck in front of him
stopped. He believes that his brakes locked up which prevented him from
steering to the right to avoid the crash. Skid marks were present at the scene
and anti lock brakes are listed as an option on the '03 Century that was owned
by a rental car company. V2's driver was a 54-year-old male with 30 years
truck driving experience. The flatbed trailer was loaded with 29,489 pounds of
pipe and received only minor damage to the right rear underide guard and right
axle 5 trailer brake. Level 1 inspection revealed only crash related damage and
no citations were issued. No charges were filed in the crash.

Northbound in lane 2 on a 3-lane, same-direction, bituminous, 55mph, dry roadway
in the morning hours. V2 was also traveling Northbound in lane 3, and had just
come over a hillcrest. V1 attempted to change lanes to the left into
lane 3 as it passed v2 on the right side. V1 made the lane change maneuver
before completely passing v2, and the left side of v1 subsequently struck the
front right corner of v2 (Event 1). V1 then rotated around the front of v2 in a
counterclockwise direction. V1 left the roadway to the left, contacting the
guardrail in the grass median with its right side (Event 2). At this time, v2
had locked its brakes, and began sliding gradually off the roadway to the left.
V1 rebounded off the guardrail, and the front of v2 struck the left side of v1
a second time (Event 3). V1 was pushed into the guardrail again, with its right
side once again making contact (Event 4). As v2 pinned v1 against the
guardrail, the cab of v2 jacknifed to the left and came completely around (Event
5). Intra-unit damage was sustained to v2 on the left rear of the cab, the
left front tire, and the left side of the trailer. Both vehicles came to rest
in the grass median on the left side of the roadway. The driver of v1,

V1 was proceeding northbound on a curved, two-lane roadway. For unknown reasons,
control of the vehicle was lost. It drifted right and struck a parked vehicle
(marked X in the scene diagram) with its right side (EVENT 1). Vehicle X then
caused a chain reaction, striking Vehicle Y; Vehicle Y then struck Vehicle Z. V1
was deflected from this initial impact and struck a fence further north (EVENT
2 - right plane). Note: there is some uncertainty as to the configuration of
EVENT 2. The fence shown in the pictures is the only one present that might have
been struck, seeming to be a new, and possibly a replacement, fence. V1 was
towed due to damage. The driver of V1 was reported uninjured. The passenger was
reported transported and hospitalized with incapacitating injuries.
V1 and V2 were headed northbound in lane 1 of a five-lane roadway, V1 behind V2.
V1 struck V2 (EVENT 1 - front to rear). V2 then departed the roadway to the
right, striking a tree (EVENT 2 - front plane). V2 then re-entered the roadway
and overturned onto its top (EVENT 4 - top plane). V1 spun clockwise and struck
the same tree (EVENT 3 - left plane). It then came to rest in the roadway.
Both vehicles were towed due to damage. Both drivers were reported
V1 (in lane 5), V2 (in lane 5) and V3 (in lane 3) were headed eastbound on a
6-lane highway. V1 approached V2 from behind; V1 veered to the right and struck
V2 (EVENT 1 - V1's front strikes V2's rear). The force of this impact sent V2
off to the roadway to the left, where it struck an embankment (EVENT 2 - right

reported uninjured and not transported to a medical facility.
V1 was traveling eastbound in a two lane, two way road under dry, daylight
conditions. V2 was traveling on the same road and direction in front of V1. V2
slowed to turn left and this caused V1 to brake and steer left to try and avoid
hittting V2. However, V1's front right hit the left side of V2. This sent V1
into the yard of a private residence where it struck some shrubs and came to
rest. The driver of V1 was belted and no airbags deployed. V1 was towed due
to damage. Both occupants in V2 were belted and no airbags deployed. V2 was
also towed due to damage. The driver of V1 was uninjured. The driver and

V1 was traveling south on the inboard lane of a multi-lane divided roadway,
attempting to make a U-turn at a 4-leg urban intersection. V2 was traveling
north in lane two of the same roadway, approaching the same 4-leg intersection,
intending to proceed straight. V3 was stopped and facing west in a business
driveway, attempting to exit and turn right (north) onto the main thoroughfare.
As V1 crossed the northbound lanes, across the path of V2, the frontal area
impacted the left side surface of V2, resulting in moderate damage to both
vehicles. V1 came to a final rest in close proximity to the point of impact
facing northeast. At this point, V2 rotated approximately 120 degrees
counterclockwise and was re-directed in a northeasterly direction towards the
business exit. As V2 entered the business driveway, the right side surface
struck the left side surface of V3, resulting in minor damage to both vehicles.
V2 and V3 came to rest in the business driveway (in the northeast sector of the
intersection) facing southwest. All three vehicles were towed due to damage.
V1 was unavailable for inspection. V2 was equipped with dual frontal airbags
(deployed) and three-point active restraints in all occupied positions. V3 was
equipped with dual frontal airbags (non-deploy) and three-point restraints in
all occupied positions. V1 contained a driver and no other occupants. The driver
was not transported and reported as having possible injuries. V2 contained a
spouses' car for reported possible injuries. V3 contained a driver and no other
occupants. The driver was transported to the hospital via police (helicopter)
V1, a 2001 GMC Yukon Denali was traveling South in lane 4 of a four-lane,
divided highway. V1 then swerved left (East) in an attempt to avoid another
vehicle encroaching into its lane from Southbound lane 3. As a result of the
successful avoidance maneuver to this critical event, V1 departed its original
lane of travel to the East and passed through the paved shoulder. V1 then
departed the highway altogether to the East and entered the grass median. The
front of V1 struck (EVENT 1) the guardrail in the grass median causing a
sideswipe down the left plane. V1 came to rest in the median shortly
thereafter. V1 was towed from the scene. It sustained moderate front plane
damage (with moderate left plane sideswipe). V1 was equipped with dual first
row front impact air bags and dual first row side impact seatback-mounted air
bags. None of the air bags deployed. V1 contained a driver and 5 passengers
located at the FR, 2L, 2M, 2R & 3L seating positions. All were using the
available safety belts for their seating position. The driver was transported
(ambulance) to the hospital for reported incapacitating injuries, treated and
released. Minor injuries were sustained by all remaining occupants, however, no
V2 was proceeding southbound in lane 3 of a four-lane roadway, approaching an
intersection. V1 was proceeding northbound in lane 4 of a contiguous four lane
roadway, prepared to make a U-turn at the said intersection. V1 attempted the
U-turn, and entered the path of V2 (EVENT 1 - V1's front strikes V2's left). V2
veered to the left after this impact and sideswiped a guardrail in the center
median (EVENT 2 - right side). Both vehicles were towed due to damage.
All occupants of V2 were reported transported with incapacitating injuries,
including Occupant 4, who was reported in a child seat. (A subsequent
interview revealed that there were no injuries to any of the occupants.) The
driver of V1 sustained moderate injuries.
V1 was traveling east under dry, daylight conditions on a two lane, two way
roadway. V2 was traveling west on the same road. V1 crossed the center line
into the path of V2. As V1 entered the westbound travel lane, the front left
area impacted the left front side surface of V2 in a sideswipe configuration.
Impact resulted in minor frontal damage to V1 and moderate left side surface
damage to V2. At this point, the vehicles sustained contact as the impact damage
continued down the side surface of both vehicles (no seperate event required).
The occupant of V1 was restrained and no airbags deployed in the vehicle during
the crash. V1 was not towed from the scene. The occupant in V2 was also
restrained and no airbags deployed in the vehicle during the crash. V2 was towed
due to vehicle damage. No injuries were sustained by the occupants of V1 and
V2, as no one was transported for treatment.
V1 was southbound on a two-lane rural roadway, and negotiating a (left and
right) "S" curve. As the vehicle reached the apex of the left curve, it departed
the right (west) pavement edge and re-entered the roadway in a slight clockwise
rotation. Active driver steering and vehicle yaw re-directed the vehicle in a
southwesterly direction again towards the west pavement edge (into the right
curve). As the vehicle departed the road, it traversed a shallow ditch as the
left side wheels began digging into the soft soil. This lateral motion into the
soft soil initiated a 6 quarter-turn left side rollover ("tripover") resulting
in severe top damage. During rollover quarter turns #3 and #4, the unrestrained
driver was fully ejected through the (disintegrated) left front window opening
and was propelled into a nearby private yard. The vehicle continued its
southwesterly post-impact trajectory as the left front side surface subsequently
struck a large diameter tree (as it entered rollover quarter turn #4), which
resulted in moderate damage. The vehicle completed rollover quarter turn #5 and
rotated clockwise around the struck tree, coming to rest on its roof (facing

V1, a 2000 Jeep Cherokee was traveling East on a one-lane, one-way highway
entrance ramp to a four-lane, divided highway. V2, a 1998 Ford unknown M/H
truck was traveling East in lane 3 of the highway, behind V1. V1 lost control
on an ice patch at the end of the highway entrance ramp and began rotating
clockwise. While rotating, V1 departed its original lane of travel to the left
(North), passed through lane 2, and entered lane 3 as V2 approached. V1 & V2
then collided (EVENT 1) in eastbound lane 3; the front planes of both vehicles
contacted each other. V1 then rotated counterclockwise out of lane 3 to the
North, passed through lane 4, and departed the roadway altogether to the North.

Vehicle one, a 1996 Saturn, was traveling eastbound in lane two of a two way,
not physically divided roadway. Vehicle two, a 1994 Ford Escort, was traveling
westbound in lane one on the same roadway. At the time of the crash, it was
dark and the roadways were dry and clear. The front of vehicle one contacted
the front of vehicle two in the westbound lane. Vehicle one's left side tire
contacting a curb. Vehicle one at final rest was in the westbound lane facing
eastbound. Vehicle two at final rest was in the westbound lane facing
westbound. Both vehicles were towed due to vehicle damage. The driver
of vehicle one was uninjured but was transported to a local area trauma center
as a precaution due his blacking out prior to the crash. The driver of vehicle
Vehicle one, 1992 Chevrolet Cavalier, was traveling west on the inboard travel
lane of a four-lane divided (without a positive barrier) urban roadway. V1
moved into the left turn lane and was heading south in the crossover, in an
attempt to proceed straight across the eastbound lanes and enter a business
driveway. Vehicle two, 1995 Ford Windstar, was traveling east in the outboard
lane of the same roadway. As V1 proceeded (southbound) across the eastbound
lanes, the right front side surface was impacted by the front left area of V2,
resulting in moderate damage to both vehicles. At this point, V1 rotated sharply
counterclockwise as the vehicles sideslapped, which resulted in moderate right
side surface damage to V1 and moderate left side surface damage to V2. V1 and V2
came to rest in the eastbound lanes, with V1 facing southwest and V2 facing
southeast. Although both vehicles were reported by police as towed.
Vehicle one, a 1999 Ford F-350, was westbound on a two-lane roadway approaching
a 4-leg intersection. Vehicle two, a 1999 Ford Expedition, was northbound on
approach to the same. At the time of the crash, it was a clear day and the
roadways were dry. The stop sign on the northeast corner for the westbound
traffic had been knocked down prior to the crash. As both vehicles entered the
4-leg intersection to proceed straight, the frontal area of V1 impacted the
right side of V2, resulting in moderate damage to both vehicles. V1 came to rest
in the northbound lane facing northeast. At this point, V2 rotated clockwise
and was re-directed towards the northwest sector of the intersection. As V2
departed the west pavement edge, the right side surface impacted a guardrail
resulting in moderate damage. V2 climbed up and over the guardrail, which
initiated a 4-quarter turn right side rollover ("climb-over") resulting in minor
top damage. V2 came to rest upright off the west pavement edge in a ditch
facing south. Following the crash, the driver of V1 was transported to
a local medical facility and released, the driver of V2 did not seek medical
attention for minor injuries. The restrained left rear child occupant and
unrestrained right rear adult occupant of V2 were transported to a local medical
facility and hospitalized. The 22 month-old child passenger of V2 (seated
behind the driver) was restrained within a child safety seat. Although the
police reported the adult passenger of V2 as seated in the rear center position,
the NASS interview revealed that he was seated in the right rear position, and
was propelled into the rear cargo area during the rollover where he came to
rest. A compact TV/DVD player was found strapped to the front seatbacks of V2,
and was considered as a souce of the child passenger injuries, however, the
right rear adult passenger's kinematic proved a more probable source.
V1 (1988 Honda Civic) was traveling East in lane #1 of a two-lane, two-way,
rural bituminous roadway on a dry, clear day; V1 was negotiating a right curve.
V2 (2001 Ford Taurus) was traveling West on the same roadway, approaching V1.
V1 departed its original lane of travel to the left (North) and entered the
westbound lane. V1 & V2 collided in the westbound travel lane (EVENT 1); the
front planes of both vehicles contacted each other. Both vehicles rotated
clockwise and came to rest shortly thereafter. Both vehicles were towed due
to disabling damage. V1 was unavailable for inspection. V2 sustained moderate
front plane damage; it was equipped with dual first row frontal advanced airbags
(both deployed) and first row pretentioners (driver side actuated). Both
vehicles contained only drivers, no other occupants. Both drivers were
transported to the hospital for reported nonincapacitating injuries.
Vehicle 1, a 1999 Pontiac Bonneville, was traveling westbound in lane one of a
three lane, two way roadway, approaching a 4-leg intersection. Vehicle 2, a
2003 Ford F-250, was traveling southbound in lane two of a three lane, one-way
roadway, approaching the same intersection. At the time of the crash it was
daylight and the bituminous roadways were dry and clear. As both vehicles
entered the intersection, the front right area of V1 contacted the left front
side surface of V2, resulting in moderate damage to both vehicles. At this
point, V1 was vigorously rotated counterclockwise as V2 rotated slightly
clockwise. A secondary impact or "sideslap" occurred, resulting in moderate
right rear side surface damage to V1 and moderate left rear side surface damage
to V2. V1 was re-directed in a southerly direction and came to rest in the
south sector of the intersection facing southeast. V2 was re-directed towards
the southwest sector of the intersection. As V2 subsequently departed the
roadedge, the front right area struck a utility pole, which resulted in moderate
damage. V2 rotated clockwise at impact, and came to rest in close proximity to
the final point of impact facing southwest. V1 was towed due to disabling
damage. The driver of V1 was transported and hospitalized due to the injuries
she sustained during the crash. V2 sustained disabling damage, but did not meet
this state's sampling requirements to be considered towed. The driver of V2
Crash Description Vehicle 1, a 1999 Chevrolet Astro minivan, was turning
left, (west), at a T-intersection controlled by a stop sign. Vehicle 2, a 1986
GMC 12,000 lb dump truck, was eastbound on the 2 lane (with right turn lane),
bituminous, 2-way roadway that V1 was turning west onto. Traffic eastbound and
westbound had no traffic controls through the T-intersection. V2, front,
contacted V1, left, in the intersection when V1 pulled out in front of V2.
Both vehicles slid to final rest positions off the north edge of the east-west
roadway. The driver of V1 was dead at the scene. The driver of V2 was
uninjured. Both vehicles were towed due to damage. The east-west
roadway was a rural major collector with a speed limit of 50 mph. It had a
right turn lane for the eastbound traffic to turn right at the T-intersection.
The T-intersection was on the outside of a curve left and was controlled by a
stop sign. The sight/stopping distance required for V2 is 130 meters. The sight
distance measured for both vehicles was 130 meters. Both the sight/stopping
distance and the radius of the curve meet AASHTO requirements. The roadway was
dry with no surface defects or deficiencies. V1's view to the west was not
obscured. A complete inspection was obtained on both vehicles, including a
level one inspection on V2. No mechanical problems were found with either
vehicle that appeared to have contributed to the cause of the crash. The
driver of V1 was a healthy, retired male whose hobbies include bowling. He was
returning from a bowling ally where he goes 2-3 times per week. He had just
bowled 5 games with friends. He was not running late or pressed for time. The
driver was described as "an impatient" driver "who frequently swore at other
drivers" by his spouse during the interview. He was properly licensed for and
familiar with, the roadway, intersection and the vehicle. He had received 2
moving violations in the past 5 years. The driver of V2 was also a
healthy, semi-retired male familiar with both the vehicle and the roadway. He
was properly licensed for the vehicle, needing no special CDL as the dump truck
was plated for farm use. The driver was in no hurry and there is no indication
that he was exceeding the posted speed limit. There was no indications
that drugs or alcohol were involved on the part of either driver. Some
possible factors, which may have contributed to the cause of the crash, include:
? A non-contact vehicle pulled out in front of V2 and turned left (west)
causing V2 to slow and pull partially into the right turn lane. The driver of
V1 may have taken this maneuver to mean that V2 was going to turn right. ? The
driver of V1 may not have come to a complete stop at the sign before pulling out

This crash occurred at an oblique cross intersection. The speed limit on both
roadways was 50 mph (80 kmph). The crash occurred during daylight hours with no
adverse weather conditions. V1, a 1995 Acura 2 door hatchback, was westbound on
a rural minor collector, stopped at a stop sign with a flashing red signal. V1
was waiting to cross a two lane, rural, major collector that was controlled only
by a flashing yellow light for that intersection. V2 was a 1999 Kenworth
tractor pulling two Fruehauf dump trailers containing 104,000 lbs of sand. V2
was northbound in lane 1 of the bituminous, rural, major collector.
V1 proceeded through the intersection and was struck on its left side by the
front of V2. V1 rotated counterclockwise with its front left and front striking
the left side of V2. Both vehicles went into the ditch northwest of the
intersection while both trailers of V2 overturned onto their right sides on the
roadway. V1 came to final rest in the ditch facing southeast and V2 came to
rest with the tractor upright against a tree facing northwest and the trailers
laying on their right sides across both lanes of the north-south roadway, their
cargo spilled. Of the two restrained occupants of V1, the driver was
declared dead at the scene and the passenger was injured, transported and
hospitalized. The unrestrained, single occupant of V2 was transported then
released. Both vehicles were towed due to damage. V1 had come to a
complete stop at the intersection, edged forward and decided to proceed. After
entering the intersection, V1 tried to stop after the driver had second thoughts
about whether the traffic way was clear. V2, fully loaded, traveling within
the posted speed, had no time to avoid impacting V1. The driver of V1 was a 16
year old female operating the vehicle on a Temporary Instruction Permit enroute
to her road test for her driver's license. She was familiar with the vehicle,
as she had driven it almost exclusively to fulfill her required 50hrs of road
time. She was not familiar with the intersection. Not only was it her first
time negotiating the intersection but the intersecting roads were not at right
angles and her sight distance to approaching traffic from her left was
restricted. There was no evidence of drugs or alcohol use on the
part of the drivers. Inspections of both vehicles, including a level one on V2,
revealed no mechanical problems which may have contributed to the cause of the
crash. V2, however, was slightly over it's legal weight limit. Both drivers
were properly licensed for their vehicles and on schedule. Interviews were
obtained from witnesses who were following both vehicles and surrogate
interviews were obtained for both drivers.

the driver maneuvered the vehicle forward into a westbound heading and attempted
to immediately turn left (south) into an adjacent driveway. Upon recognition of
the impending harmful event, the driver of V2 steered left in avoidance, and
subsequently entered the eastbound lane. As V1 crossed the eastbound lane to
turn left into the driveway, the left front side surface was impacted by the the
front right area of V2, resulting in moderate damage to both vehicles. At this
point, V1 was re-directed in a southwesterly direction and departed the left
(south) pavement edge where it came to rest in a private yard facing west. The
initial impact re-directed V2 in a clockwise rotation as it also departed the
left (south) roadedge traveling laterally. The left side wheels of V2 began
digging into the soft soil. This lateral motion against the soil initiated a
2-quarter turn left side rollover ("tripover") which resulted in minor top
damage. V2 came to rest (on its roof) in a private yard facing northwest. V2 was
towed from the crash site due to disabling damage. The occupants of both
vehicles were injured but not transported for treatment.

Vehicle 1 was northbound on the inboard lane of a dry, 4-lane divided (without
positive barrier) highway and negotiating a right curve. While negotiating the
right curve, the driver allowed the vehicle to depart the left (west) pavement
edge, as the subsequent over-correction (braking and steering right) re-directed
the vehicle back across the northbound travel lanes and towards the right
(east) shoulder in a clockwise yaw. As the vehicle exited the east pavement
edge, it traversed a slight downslope (and shallow ditch) as the left side
wheels began digging into the soft soil. This lateral motion against the soft
soil initiated a 4-quarter turn left side rollover ("tripover") resulting in
moderate top damage. The vehicle came to rest on its wheels (off the east
pavement edge) facing southeast. It should be noted that the driver reported a
LF tire blowout to police, however, this was not substantiated during the NASS
exterior vehicle inspection. The driver and sole occupant of V1 was transported
to a local area hospital where he was treated and released. The vehicle was
towed from the crash site due to disabling damage.

This crash happened on a Thursday morning in late September. The weather
conditions were clear, dry and sunny. The crash involved two vehicles at a 4-leg
intersection. The roadway was a straight 4-lane divided highway with an uphill
grade in both directions. The northbound highway increases to three lanes with a
left turn lane as it approaches the intersection. The southbound roadway
expands to four at the intersection with both a left and right turn lane. The
speed limit in the area is 55 mph and the intersection was controlled by a
pre-timed signal. The traffic at the time of crash was busy, but not congested.
The two vehicles involved in the crash were a 1997 Chrysler Concorde (V1)
and a 2001 Sterling (V2) straight truck. Vehicle 1 was occupied by its 22
year-old driver and his 18 year-old sister. A 39 year-old male drove vehicle 2;
he was delivering 60,000 lbs of construction materials (plywood and steel
beams). Vehicle 1 was traveling south in the left turn lane and attempted to
turn into a community college parking lot. Vehicle 2 was traveling north in lane
one. As V1 turned left into the intersection, it was struck on the right side
by V2's front. Subsequent to the first impact, V1 spun counterclockwise and side
slapped the left front tire of V2. V1 continued to travel 30 meters north,
where it came to rest in lane 2 of northbound traffic. V2 came to rest off the
roadway, northeast of the intersection. The belted right front passenger
of V1 was transported to a hospital where she died from her injuries 12 days
later. The belted driver of V1 received "C" injuries and was treated and
released from a local trauma center. The unbelted driver of V2 was not injured.
The driver of V1 said that before he turned left, he looked to see if the
traffic was clear. He said he did not see the truck initially, but after he
entered the intersection, he was well aware of it. He tried to accelerate after
noticing the truck in hopes of getting out of its path. This driver claimed the
uphill slope of the roadway caused him to have a restricted view of oncoming
traffic. A scene inspection and sight line evaluation of the intersection found
no visibility issues. Both directions of the roadway meet the AASHTO guidelines.
The driver of V2 reported that he saw V1 approach the traffic signal
without stopping and "jet across" the intersection. After he watched V1 enter
the intersection, he said he anticipated V2 to drive in front of him so he
"stood on his brake." He claimed there was no time to avoid the crash. He was
driving between 50 and 60 mph when V1 turned in front of him. A post crash
inspection of V2 did not find any mechanical problems with the truck. The truck
driver was cited for not wearing a seat belt and an expired medical examiners
card. Both of the drivers were familiar with the roadway and this
particular intersection. The driver of V1 attended the college where he
attempted to turn into 4 days a week. The driver of V2 worked less than 10 miles
from the scene of the intersection. A possible contributing factor for
the crash may have been that the driver of V1 was in a hurry to get his sister
to her 9:00 a.m. class. The crash occurred at 8:50 a.m. Driver V2 stated that
he observed V1 approach the intersection without stopping and "jet across".
V1, a 1998 Chevrolet Tahoe, was westbound on the inboard lane of a 6-lane urban

intersection attempting to turn left into a hospital entrance, and across the
path of V2. As V1 crossed the eastbound lanes of the 4-leg urban intersection,
the right side surface was impacted by the frontal area of V2, resulting in
moderate damage to both vehicles. At this point, V1 rotated clockwise as the
left side wheels began digging into the asphalt surfaced roadway. The initial
vehicle impact and subsequent lateral motion against the pavement initiated a
2-quater turn left side rollover, which resulted in moderate top damage. V1 came
to rest (on its roof) in the south sector of the intersection facing north. V2
came to rest in the southeast sector of the intersection facing southeast. Both
vehicles were towed due to disabling damage. The driver of V1 sustained "C"
injuries and sought treatment later. The RF passenger of V1 sustained "A"
injuries and was transported and hospitalized for 19 days. The RR passenger of
V1 sustained "B" injuries and was transported and hospitalized for 20 days (as
of the interview). The driver and LR passenger of V2 (restrained in a CSS)
sustained "C" injuries and were treated and released. V1 was equipped with
driver and passenger frontal airbags, neither of which deployed. V2 was

road, approaching an intersection. V2 (2003 Mitsubishi Galant) was traveling
North in lane #3 of a four-lane, divided highway, approaching the same
intersection. Both vehicles entered the intersection simultaneously and
attempted to pass straight through it; consequently, the vehicles collided in
contacted each other. V1 rotated counterclockwise after impact and traveled in
a northwesterly direction toward the highway's grass median. V1 then entered
the median North of the intersection, while continuing to rotate, where it
struck a street sign with its right plane (EVENT 2). V1 came to rest in the
median shortly thereafter, facing Southeast. V2 came to rest in the North
portion of the intersection after Event 1. Both vehicles were towed due to

Vehicle one, a 2003 Land Rover Discovery, was traveling eastbound in the
outboard lane of a 4-lane highway, which was divided by a large grass median
area bordered by a W-beam guardrail (positive barrier). V1 was towing an empty
car hauler in dark and dry conditions. Vehicle one drifted off the right
(south) shoulder as the driver subsequently over-corrected a left steering
manuever, which re-directed the vehicle back across the eastbound travel lanes
towards the center median guardrail in a northerly direction. As the vehicle
departed the left (north) pavement edge, the front right area struck the
guardrail resulting in minor damage. At this point, V1 rotated counterclockwise
(and broke contact with the guardrail) as the right side surface impacted the
guardrail resulting in moderate damage. The trailer portion detached from the
vehicle and continued in an easterly direction, flipping over before coming to
rest alongside the guardrail. V1 continued engagement up and over the guardrail.
This climbing mechanism over the W-beam guardrail initiated a 2-quarter turn
right side rollover ("climb-over") which resulted in moderate top damage.
Vehicle one came to rest on its top north of the struck guardrail facing west.
Vehicle one was towed due to disabling damage. The front right
passenger was ejected through the disintegrated roof glazing during the rollover
(between quarter turns #1 and #2) and reportedly came to rest 75 feet northeast
of the vehicle final rest position. Although the police also reported that the
driver was ejected during the rollover, this was not substantiated during the
NASS vehicle inspection. Interior evidence revealed the driver's kinematic into
the front right passenger space where he came to rest, and subsequently exited
the vehicle under his own power. EMS reported the driver ambulatory at the scene
as the front right passenger was found unconscious in the above mentioned
position. Following the crash, the driver and passenger were transported to a
local trauma center for treatment. The driver was treated and released as the

rural road approaching a four-leg intersection. V2 (2000 Pontiac Bonneville)
was traveling West in lane #1 of a two-lane, two-way road approaching the same
intersection. V2 then stopped at a stop sign at the intersection. V1,
continuing northbound, veered right (East) to avoid an unknown, non-contact
vehicle just prior to entering the intersection. As a result of V1's successful
avoidance manuever to this critical event, V1 departed its original travel lane
and the roadway altogether to the East. V1 traveled on the East roadside
briefly before entering the intersecting road East of the intersection. V1
crossed the eastbound travel lane and entered the Westbound travel lane where V2
was stopped. V1 & V2 collided at the stop sign in the Westbound travel lane,
just East of the intersection (EVENT 1); the front plane of V1 and the left
plane of V2 contacted each other. Both vehicles departed the roadway to the
North after impact, and came to final rest on the roadside at the Northeast
corner of the intersection. V2 rotated an estimated 100 degrees
counterclockwise before its final rest. Both vehicles were towed due to
reported disabling damage. V1 sustained moderate front plane damage. It was
equipped with dual first row frontal airbags (neither deployed -- potential
failure if original equipment, no maintenence). V2 sustained moderate left
plane damage. It was equipped with dual first row frontal airbags (neither
deployed) and dual first row seatback-mounted side airbags (driver's side

Vehicle 1, a 1998 Geo (Chevrolet) Tracker, was negotiating an entrance ramp
(20mph posted speed limit) curving right to enter an eastbound, three-lane,
bituminous, interstate roadway. Vehicle 2, a 2004 Freightliner conventional
tractor pulling a 53ft semi van trailer, was eastbound in lane one of the same
roadway. V2 was fully loaded with 47,000 pounds of flour in 50-pound bags on
pallets. The posted speed limit on the interstate was 70mph for cars and 55mph
for trucks. The roadway was dry and had no defects or deficiencies. There were
no adverse weather conditions. It was dark and unlit but traffic was light.
The sight/stopping distances for both vehicles adhered to AASHTO requirements.
V1 was traveling down the entrance ramp and for unknown reasons suddenly
veered left, cutting across the eastbound lanes. The truck driver observed V1
coming down the ramp and started changing lanes to the left so V1 could merge.
He then saw V1 veer left into his path so he kept steering left in an attempt to
avoid V1. The right duel wheels and axle of V2's trailer struck the left front
of V1 in the center lane causing it to spin clockwise. The back of V1 then
coming to final rest off the right side of the road facing south 37m from
initial impact. The single occupant was fully ejected out of the driver's
window, slid east across lane one, across the right shoulder and into a
guardrail 56m from initial impact. V2 continued eastbound and came to a
impact. The driver of V1 was dead at the scene; the driver of V2 was uninjured.
Both vehicles were towed due to damage. An inspection of V1 revealed no
defects that may have contributed to the crash. A Level 1 truck inspection was
performed on V2 in addition to the researcher's inspection. These inspections
found no mechanical defects; the truck was not overweight and was properly
loaded. There was no load shifting or spillage. Both drivers were familiar
with their vehicles. The 21-year-old male driver of V1 was properly
licensed for the vehicle and was familiar with the entrance ramp/interstate. He
was making a 10-mile trip home from a bar where he met some friends when the
crash occurred. The medical examiner reported his blood alcohol level to be
0.112 and caffeine was also detected in his blood. The driver of V2 was in
good health at the time of the crash and was properly licensed and experienced.
There appears to be no indication that his actions contributed to the cause of
the crash; however, he was placed out of service for log book violations and
false duty status. Neither drugs nor alcohol appeared to have been involved on
his part. He was on time and not far from his destination. Possible

from a intersecting road, V1 steered to the left, departed the left side of the
road, impacted a fire hydrant with the front, and then impacted a utility pole
with the front. Both airbags deployed at impact. Belted driver was
transported and released from a medical facility. V1 was towed from the scene.
The crash occurred on a straight east/west urban interstate with three lanes,
shoulder, and emergency lane in each direction divided by a concrete traffic
barrier. 2002 traffic counts indicate the six interstate lanes carry 105,180
vehicles per day at the crash site with a posted speed of 55mph. Conditions
were dry and sunny at 10:36am on a Tuesday morning. V1 was 1993 Dodge
Dynasty traveling westbound in the right lane. V2, a 2000 Volvo conventional
tractor pulling two 28' trailers, was westbound in the center lane. For unknown
reasons V1 departed the right side of the roadway and traveled 105m in the
grass. V1 returned to the roadway and began a counterclockwise yaw as it
crossed all westbound lanes and struck the center barrier wall with its front.
A secondary side slap ensued with V1's left rear corner contacting the wall as
it bounced back into the travel lanes. V1 continued north across the westbound
lanes where its right side was struck by the left rear tandem of V2's second
trailer. V1 came to rest facing northwest in the center lane 23m west of
impact with the tractor-trailer and 39m west of the wall impact. V2 stopped on
the right shoulder 211m west of impact. A 63-year-old female with no known
prior medical conditions drove V1. She has no recollection of the crash. She
was unbelted with a deployed airbag and was hospitalized approximately 3 weeks
with multiple injuries. Police investigators are uncertain why she ran off the
road. Medical reports were not completed at the time of case submission but
relatives relayed that EKG and other tests did not detect any medical problems
that might have arose to initiate the crash. V2 was driven by a
54-year-old male with 30 years truck driving experience. He was two hours into
his normal daily run for a large carrier, a round trip from the terminal to a
drop off point and back 530 miles total. The driver stated he initially saw V1
out of the corner of his eye in the grass off the right side of the road. He
assumed V1 was pulling off the road to stop. When he realized V1 was coming
back on to the road he braked hard, avoiding a collision as V1 crossed in front
of him. However, he was unable to avoid the car as it rebounded off the wall
back into the travel lanes. He stated he felt the left rear tandem on the
second trailer come off the ground, but was able to avoid other vehicles as he
pulled off on the right shoulder. Level 1 inspection of the truck revealed one
brake out of adjustment on the first trailer. Although just a theory, the
researcher believes that an old painted construction line could have contributed
to V1's driver departing the road. Construction in the area around this major
interchange was recently completed and there are some lane lines that were used
during construction still present. The white line in question begins after an
approximately 60m stretch with no right lane line as a long entrance ramp merge
lane ends. The old line starts as the edge of the right travel lane and extends
to the right edge of the pavement. This is almost the exact path V1 tracked as
it left the road. If the driver were focused on the right lane line as she
was driving this could have led her off the road on the trajectory she followed.

crash in the center lane approximately 150m ahead. All eight vehicles involved
in this crash were traveling south in the center lane approaching the other
crash. V2 was a 1999 Dodge Ram that was unable to stop in time to avoid the
stopped vehicles ahead and rear-ended a Toyota Corolla (different PAR). V2 was
stopped for about thirty seconds before it was rear-ended (event 1) by V1, a
1996 Ford F-150 beginning the chain reaction. The next vehicle in center lane,
V6, a 1996 Volkswagen Jetta, stopped behind V1 without making contact and the
driver heard collisions behind him. V4, a 1995 Mitsubishi Eclipse, rear-ended
V5 (event 2) which was a 1994 Nissan Quest pushing it into V3, a 1993 Honda
Accord. V3 in turn struck the rear of V6 before pulling off the right side of
the road. V6 was shoved into the left rear of V1. The last vehicle in line was
a 1998 Volvo tractor with 53' semi trailer, V8. As the truck came upon the
crash the driver braked hard and steered to the left causing the trailer to
rotate counterclockwise. The right side of V8's trailer struck V4, V5, and V6.
V5 was knocked to the right shoulder where it came to rest. V4 came to rest
under the trailer against V6 that was sandwiched between V4 and V1. The
truck's trailer straightened up and V8 came to rest in the left lane after
striking the rear V7, a 1995 Pontiac Firebird. Remarkably, there were no
serious injuries in the crash despite severe damage to some of the vehicles
involved. Six people were transported to area hospitals: V1's driver; V2's
driver and passenger; V4's driver and passenger; and V6's driver. All parties
were transported and released with the exception of V2's driver who was released
from the hospital the next morning. The truck was driven by a
61-year-old owner-operator on a 500-mile trip. He was hauling 30,312 pounds of
tires and had been driving just over eight hours when the crash occurred. There
were no charges filed in the crash. Level 1 inspection of the truck revealed

Vehicle #1 (V1) was traveling north in the right lane of a four lane, two way,
undivided bridge. There is a two meter wide bicycle lane that separates the
northbound lanes from a curb. The curb is 40cm high/24cms wide and it separates
the bicycle lane from a pedestrian walkway. The northbound lanes are
bituminous and have a slight uphill grade (2.5%). It was a rainy evening
and the roads were wet. This bridge has metal grating where the bridgedeck
opens for marine traffic. The driver of V1 traveled off the bridgedeck
and onto the asphalt, lost control of the vehicle, began a clockwise yaw and
traveled across the northbound bike lane and the front of V1 struck the curb.
The front right of V1 scraped along the curb as it continued north and then the
front right side of V1 climbed up the curb. V1 rotated slightly
counterclockwise as it continued north on top of the curb (causing damage to the
undercarriage and possibly creating sparks that contributed to the resulting
fire). The right front of V1struck a 22cm wide light pole which was mounted to
the top of the curb. As V1 continued north, the pole traveled through the
passenger compartment andstruck the 2nd row seat cushion. The front half of V1
rotated clockwise as the pole traveled through the car and the back half of V1
rotated clockwise when the pole "snagged" at the left D pillar. V1 was nearly
ripped in two by the impact. V1 came to final rest with the front half of the
vehicle on top on the pedestrian walkway facing north. The back half of the V1
came to rest partially in the bike lane and partially in the right northbound
lane, and was facing southwest. When the back half of V1 rotated clockwise, the
LRBC of V1 struck the left side of V1. At final rest the LRBC of V1 was still
in contact with the left side of the vehicle. This impact could not be coded as
an event in the NASSMAIN software, but the damage was documented. A major
fire resulted from the impact. The fire engulfed the 2nd row seating area and
both right side doors. The driver was extricated by a passerby (as reported by
the local newspaper and witnesses). The driver was hospitalized overnight for
observation and released with minor eye abrasion. The passenger was ejected
from the vehicle during the catastrophic event and came to final rest laying on
the asphalt with his upper body positioned near the 2nd row seating area and
torso positioned under the right sill, with his legs sticking out from under the
vehicle. The passenger was declared dead at the scene from thermal burns,
asphyxia and inhalation of toxic products of combustion. The passenger
sustained a fractured and separated pubic symphysis. The RF seat was discovered
to be deformed but was burned down to the frame from the fire. V1 was towed
disabled. It is unknown if the passenger was using any restraints at the time
of the crash. The RF belt was burned in the fire and the autopsy results did
not report evidence of belt usage due to the burns sustained in the fire. The
vehicle inspection revealed conflicting evidence as to whether or not the driver
was belted at the time of the crash. There is a manual lap and shoulder belt
available in the LF seating position, but it did not show evidence of being worn
during the crash. Due to the severity of the impact, evidence of loading
should have been found if the driver had been belted at impact. The EDR
results did report the driver's belt switch circuit status as "buckled", but
this could not be confirmed with the vehicle inspection results and V101's
medical records. Both front air bags deployed during the crash. NOTE: It is
unknown if the driver lost control of his vehicle while traveling on the metal
bridgedeck, but it is fairly common for drivers to lose control of their
vehicles while traveling on this section of the bridge (especially if they use
their brakes while on the grating). One of the witnesses reported that it
appeared V1 was sliding as it traveled from the bridgedeck on to the asphalt.
Also, it is possible that after the catastrophic pole impact, the right side of
V1 scraped one of the concrete bridge railings on the easternmost part of the
pedestrian walkway. This could not be confirmed due to the fire damage to V1's
right side. The scene evidence consisted of damage to the railing in the area
between the pole impact and final rest of the front half of V1. The NASS
Researcher did not code this as an event since it could not be confirmed. V1
was equipped with an EDR; the information was successfully downloaded.
Vehicle one, a 2003 Chevrolet Malibu, was traveling east on a five lane divided
by a grass median roadway in the right lane. Vehicle two was traveling in the
same lane in the same direction in front of vehicle one. The asphalt roadway
was level, dry and the atmosphere was clear. The crash happened at mid
afternoon. Vehicle two had stopped at a traffic signal when vehicle one
contacted the rear of vehicle two with the front. Vehicle one stopped at impact
facing east. Vehicle two moved forward approximately 50 yards to stop in the
same travel lane facing east. The restrained driver of vehicle one was not
injured. The restrained right front passenger of vehicle one was transported to
a local trauma center where she was treated and released for bruising. The
driver and passenger advanced frontal air bags deployed in vehicle one. The
vehicle was towed due to disabling damage. The restrained driver of vehicle
