Abstract:

North Carolina traffic safety leaders have embraced a multi-agency, collaborative review of all fatal collisions in the state. Survey responses from the North Carolina State Highway Patrol (NCHSP) demonstrate that quarterly Fatal Crash Reviews conducted in every troop across the state have substantially improved the crash investigation process following a deadly collision. The formal review process has transformed crash investigation in North Carolina by facilitating collaboration and accountability between agencies and troopers, setting higher expectations for quality data and investigation, augmenting data-driven enforcement planning, and shifting the overall organizational culture of the NCSHP. The investigative insights from the fatal reviews have influenced legislative action in the North Carolina General Assembly.
