How Multiple Crashes Are Reviewed During One Response
When more than one crash occurs during the same response period, investigators examine each incident separately to determine what happened. Details such as vehicle movement, roadway conditions, traffic signals, and witness accounts may help explain the events leading up to each collision.
Crash reviews can include information from drivers, passengers, and available video sources. Examining these details helps create a clearer timeline and provides a better understanding of the factors involved in each incident.
