The report summarizes the results of a comprehensive and systematic study of thirty vehicular accidents all but one of which occurred in the metropolitan Atlanta, Georgia, area. One of the accidents, which involved a truck fire, occurred in Roberta, Georgia. The research was a broadbased team effort which involved the participation of civil engineers, physicians, an automotive technician, a psychologist, a mechanical engineer, a pathologist, a social worker, and a secretary. The research included an in-depth study of factors leading to the initiation of accidents as well as a study of the 'second collision' to establish the kinematics of the occupants and to identify the agent(s) which caused the injuries and deaths. A grand summary of the findings from 100 collision investigations is included in the report. (Author)
