Crash Analysis

Crash investigation helps us understand how and why serious crashes happen - not to assign blame, but to identify risks and prevent future harm. By looking closely at what occurred before, during, and after a crash, patterns emerge around driver decisions, vehicle factors, and the road environment.

Most crashes are not the result of one single mistake. They occur when small choices, changing conditions, and missed warning signs combine. Investigating crashes allows us to break down that chain of events and see where different decisions could have led to a safer outcome.

The footage below provides a real-world example of how a crash can unfold and how preventable factors can influence the outcome. Reflecting on these elements helps build awareness of risk and reinforces an important road safety message: safer driving choices save lives.
