Rear-end collisions are among the most common types of crashes on the highway, where Malaysia also has one of the highest fatality rates for traffic in the region. This research aimed to determine the association between the characteristics of rear-impact crash and the risk of injury. The accident rate data during 2016–2018 were collected from Bukit Aman Traffic Investigation and Enforcement (JSPT), Royal Malaysia Police (RMP) Pol 27. A Chi-square test was applied to achieve the study objectives. A total 271 of single-vehicle rear-impact crashes were recorded in the dataset. Passenger car contributed the highest number of rear impact crash with 70% compared to other types of vehicles such as 4-wheel drives and lorry. The injury-severity level showed that the rear impact crash fatalities represent about 11% of total rear impact crash, followed by 9% of a slight injury, 6% of severe injury, and 74% with no injury. The result highlighted that six characteristics were found to be significantly associated with the risk of injury. They are driver’s age, road system, road surface condition, light condition, main vehicles’ part damage, and speed limit. This analysis has provided a useful new perspective on rear-end impacts crashes in Malaysia.
