Abstract
â¶ A study in Australian rural areas reported 119 fatal and 613 non-fatal crashes. â¶ Human, road and vehicle factors in fatal and non-fatal crashes were compared. â¶ Seatbelt wearing, alcohol use and speed contributed most to severity. â¶ Road conditions and vehicle factors made little contribution to severity. â¶ Alcohol use affected severity over and above its association with other factors.
