Frequently Asked Questions
How does speed affect crash survivability?
Higher speeds increase the force of impact, which raises the chance of serious injury or death and shortens the time drivers have to react or avoid a collision.
Why does seat belt use matter so much?
Seat belts keep occupants in their seats during a crash, reducing the risk of being thrown from the vehicle or thrown against the interior, which are common causes of fatal injury.
How are fatal crashes investigated?
Investigators typically examine the scene, interview witnesses, review vehicle damage, and sometimes use data from vehicle systems to determine what happened and whether any factors like speed or impairment were involved.
