The fields listed below are categorized as ‘crash-level’. This designation indicates that instead of representing a specific person or vehicle, the information gathered represents the crash as a whole. ‘Crash-level’ fields include environmental factors, such as lighting and weather; location attributes, including community and GPS coordinates; and events leading to the cause of the crash. ‘Crash-level’ reporting is an integral part of crash data collection and helps law enforcement and other safety professionals to create programming and enforcement that is targeted toward the most common types of crashes and in high-crash areas.
