Injury biomechanics as a necessary tool in a pedestrian hit-and-run case
A 35-years-old male pedestrian was hit by a SUV and then run over by a car. The pedestrian died from the untreatable injury at the scene of the accident An analysis was conducted to estimate whether or not the SUV driver was responsible for the pedestrian death by combining traumatopsy, computer simulation as well as injury prediction. The SUV impact speed, evaluated by matching simulated pedestrian head impact point on windscreen for actual windscreen deformation, was 80km/h, and then the pedestrian injury biomechanics was acquired from the simulation. The risk of pedestrian injury caused by the SUV was predicted from the injury biomechanics. The analysis suggest that the SUV striking caused the pedestrian maximum-currently untreatable head injury (AIS6). Therefore, the SUV driver should be responsible for the pedestrian death. Finally, the approach concluded from analyzing the pedestrian hit-and-run case may be implemented during other multi-crashes accidents analysis.
