Results of a tri-level accident investigation program are summarized. The study focused on the relative roles played by human, environmental, and vehicular deficiencies in causing and increasing the severity of automobile accidents. The study was based in Monroe County, Indiana. Accidents were investigated on-site at the time of occurrence by two- or three-man teams of technicians. A sample of these accidents was independently examined by a multidisciplinary team. Causative and severity-increasing factors were identified and ranked.
