1 Fatal K

Fatal: This code will be entered if a victim is pronounced dead at the scene or

before the report is completed. If not, one of the other codes will apply.

However, if a victim dies later as a result of the crash this code will need to be

updated according to the following directions. The Department of Public Safety

uses a thirty (30) day counting period for traffic fatalities. If a person dies as a

result of injuries received in a traffic crash within thirty days of the date of the

crash, that victim is considered to be a traffic fatality, and the victim injury type

must be updated to Code 1 in this data item.

7.5 Victim Injury Type

2 Incapacitating A

Incapacitating: This means that the victim must be carried or otherwise helped

from the scene. If the victim needs no help, then either a code 3 or 4 applies

even though medical assistance may have been administered at the scene.

7.5 Victim Injury Type

3 Non-Incapacitating B

Non-Incapacitating: If the victim has visible signs of injury, either in a physical or

mental sense (e.g., had passed out), but is judged able to walk away from the

scene without help, 97 this code applies. The difference between this code and

code 4 is strictly in the external evidence of injury.

7.5 Victim Injury Type

4 Not visible but

complains of pain

Not visible but complains of pain: If the victim complains of pain, but there are

no visible signs of it, and he or she is able to walk away from the scene of the

crash, then this code applies.

7.5 Victim Injury Type

There is no code for uninjured, in that uninjured occupants are not to be

considered in the victim section.

04 - Fatal Injury (Killed) K

Fatal Injury (Killed) - a fatal injury is any injury that results in death within 30

days after the motor vehicle crash in which the injury occurred. If the person did

not die at the scene but died within 30 days of the motor vehicle crash in which

the injury occurred, the injury classification should be changed from the option

previously assigned to 04 - Fatal Injury (Killed).

118 Injury Status

03 - Suspected Serious

Injury

Suspected Serious Injury is an injury other than fatal which results in one or

more of the following: Severe laceration resulting in exposure of underlying

tissues/muscle/organs or resulting in significant loss of blood; Broken or

distorted extremity (arm or leg); Crush injuries; Suspected skull, chest or

abdominal injury other than bruises or minor lacerations; Significant burns

(second and third degree burns over 10% or more of the body);

Unconsciousness when taken from the crash scene; or Paralysis

118 Injury Status

02 - Suspected Minor

Injury

Suspected Minor Injury is any injury that is evident at the scene of the crash

other than fatal or serious injuries. Examples include: lump on the head,

abrasions, bruises, minor lacerations (cuts on the skin surface with minimal

bleeding and no exposure of deeper tissue/muscle). This does not include

limping (the injury cannot be seen). (See 01 - Possible Injury).

118 Injury Status

01 - Possible Injury C

Possible Injury is any injury reported or claimed which is not fatal, suspected

serious or suspected minor injury. This includes: momentary loss of

consciousness, claim of injuries not evident, limping, or complaint of pain or

nausea. Possible injuries are those which are reported by the person or are

indicated by his/her behavior, but no wounds or injuries are readily evident.

118 Injury Status

00 - No Apparent Injury O

No Apparent Injury is used when there is no reason to believe that the person

received any bodily harm from the motor vehicle crash. There is no physical

evidence of injury and the person does not report any change in normal

functions. Also, see how to use this option for suicide incidents below.

118 Injury Status

06 - Died Prior To Crash

Died Prior To Crash refers to non-motor vehicle fatalities that are involved in a

motor vehicle crash; e.g., a heart attack victim, a homicide victim, a suicide or

person involved in a legal intervention that is involved in a motor vehicle traffic

crash.

This option is used only if the person died prior to the crash or the person died

as a result of natural causes (e.g., heart attack), disease, drug overdose or

alcohol poisoning, suicide, homicide and legal intervention.

118 Injury Status

99 - Unknown U

Unknown is used when the INJURY STATUS of this person is not known (e.g., hit-

and-run).

K - Fatal Injury K Is any injury that results in death due to a motor vehicle traffic crash.

Injury/Injury Severity

Classification

A - Incapacitating Injury A

Is any injury, other than fatal, that prevents the injured person from walking,

driving, or normally continuing the activities which he or she was capable of

performing prior to the motor vehicle traffic crash. Includes:

Severe lacerations,

broken or distorted limbs, skull fracture, crushed chest, internal injuries,

unconscious when taken from the crash scene, unable to leave crash scene

without assistance.

Excludes: Momentary unconsciousness.

General: Determinations are made at the time the injured person leaves the

crash scene. It is not necessary to consult with doctors or hospitals unless

information is not otherwise available. Apparent condition immediately after

the crash does not govern classification because the person may recover from

hysteria quickly or may begin to feel the effects of internal or other injuries

between the time of the crash and the time of leaving the scene. (a.) Medical

treatment at the crash scene or later makes no difference. What the person

does at the scene is important. (b.) Hospitalization normally will be required for

incapacitating injuries. (c.) Duration of the disability after injury makes no

difference. Incapacitation is important. (d.) Developments after leaving the

scene make no difference except in case of death.

Injury/Injury Severity

Classification

B - Non-incapacitating

Evident Injury

Any injury that is evident at the scene of the crash, other than fatal and

incapacitating injuries. Includes: Lump on head, abrasion, and minor lacerations.

Excludes: Limping (the injury cannot be seen).

Example: Pedestrian is unconscious on the ground after a crash, his clothes are

torn and blood oozes from abrasions. When the ambulance arrives he is

conscious, able to give information, and walks around. He goes to the hospital

in the ambulance, but is able to sit up in it, there is no evidence that he is

incapacitated.

Injury/Injury Severity

Classification

C - Possible Injury C

Any injury reported or claimed which is not a fatal, incapacitating, or non-

incapacitating evident injury. Includes: Momentary unconsciousness. Claim of

injuries not evident. Limping, complaint of pain, nausea, hysteria.

General: Possible injuries are those which are claimed or reported, or indicated

by behavior, but not by wounds. Example: Occupant complains of pain but

shows no signs of bleeding or other wound; leaves the scene in a taxi to keep an

appointment; he dies; this is possible injury when classified at the time of

leaving the scene, but should be changed to K upon notice of death.

Injury/Injury Severity

Classification

O - No Injury O

Is a situation where there is no reason to believe that the person received any

bodily harm from the motor vehicle traffic crash.

Injury/Injury Severity

Classification

MINNESOTA

2006 to Present

An injury is bodily harm to a person. This excludes effects of diseases such as

stroke, heart attack, diabetic coma, or epileptic seizure.

Fatal K

Fatal Injury A fatal injury is any injury that results in death within 30 days after

the motor vehicle crash in which the injury occurred. If the person did not die at

the scene but died within 30 days of the motor vehicle crash in which the injury

occurred, the injury classification should be changed from the attribute

previously assigned to the attribute "Fatal Injury." NOTE: The "30 days" is

typically calculated by a measure of 720 hours (i.e. 30, 24hr. periods) from the

crash time. Viable Fetus ANSI D 16.1 2007 - 2.1.1 Person. A person is any living

human. Within this context, a fetus is considered to be part of a pregnant

woman rather than a separate individual. After death, a human body is not

considered a person.

Reporting: A fetus is not considered as a separate individual and should not be

listed as a motorist (passenger) or non-motorists. Describe the circumstances

and record info pertaining to the fetus in the narrative. i.e. The unborn baby

dies in or as a result of this crash.

Injury (shown as Injury Code on

PAR)

Incapacitating A

A Incapacitation injury is any injury other than fatal which results in one or more

of the following: Severe laceration resulting in exposure of underlying

tissues/muscle/organs or resulting in significant loss of blood

, broken or distorted extremity (arm or leg), crush injuries, suspected skull, chest

or abdominal injury other than bruises or minor lacerations, significant burns

(second and third degree burns over 10% or more of the body), unconsciousness

when taken from the crash scene, paralysis

Injury (shown as Injury Code on

PAR)

Non-Incapacitating

Evident

A non-incapacitating injury is any injury that is evident at the scene of the crash,

other than fatal or serious injuries. Examples include lump on the head,

abrasions, bruises, minor lacerations (cuts on the skin surface with minimal

bleeding and no exposure of deeper tissue/muscle)

Injury (shown as Injury Code on

PAR)

Possible Injury C

A possible injury is any injury reported or claimed which is not a fatal, suspected

serious or suspected minor injury.

Examples include momentary loss of consciousness, claim of injury, limping, or

complaint of pain or nausea.

Possible injuries are those which are reported by the person or are indicated by

his/her behavior, but no wounds or injuries are readily evident.

Injury (shown as Injury Code on

PAR)

No Injury O

No injury is a situation where there is no reason to believe that the person

received any bodily harm from the motor vehicle crash. There is no physical

evidence of injury and the person does not report any change in normal

function.

Injury (shown as Injury Code on

PAR)

Severity Unknown U

If uncertain about how to classify an injury type, select unknown to avoid

grouping it with a type that are of greater interest to analysts and policymakers.

This code may be used in cases where a hit and run is involved but there is

sufficient evidence at the scene to cause a reasonable officer to support this

choice.
