Students who successfully complete Crash Investigation 2 develop skills in technically preparing crash investigation data and collecting follow-up data required by reconstructionist, prosecutors, defense attorneys, claims adjusters, fleet supervisors, and highway safety engineers. Students must have completed Traffic Crash Investigation 1 before registering for this course.
Crash Investigation 2 builds upon topics examined in Crash 1 and provides students with greater knowledge of the information available at the crash scene, how to properly collect that data, and how to initiate its interpretation. Like Crash 1, the course is rooted in the latest edition of our authoritative text Traffic Crash Investigation and emphasizes vehicle behavior in crashes, vehicle damage analysis, advanced mapping and evidence location skills, technical report writing, and proper preservation of digital evidence collected from collision investigations.
