The publication compiles 17 highway accident investigation briefs prepared by the National Transportation Safety Board in fiscal year 1992, none of which were previously published in highway accident or special investigation reports. Each brief gives the date, time, and location f the accident; the accident's resulting damages and injuries; and a description of the accident, including its probable cause and the resulting safety accomplishments when applicable. The 17 cases contained in this volume are: 6 accidents involved heavy truck collisions and overturns (3 of which resulted in fires); 5 cases involved school buses (3 of which were school bus loading zone accidents); 3 accidents involved grade crossing collisions; 3 accidents involved intercity buses. The Safety Board determined that human performance issues were the primary causal factor in all 17 accidents, that vehicle issues either contributed to the cause or injury severity in 3 accidents, and that environmental issues caused 2 accidents. The primary and contributing causal factors for these accidents are summarized in more detail in the probable cause matrix.
