Problems related to crash injuries on the road and eventually to the death of victim of the accident may call upon the entire spectrum of forensic expertise. The forensic pathologist is entrusted with assessment of the injuries, of mechanism by which they have been induced, and finally of the cause of death. The investigation of a road crash that involves fatalities or serious injuries must be directed to the assessment of 1) the pattern of the injuries, 2) the eventual role played by a concurrent natural disease, 3) the crash as a possible method of self-destructions or masking a homicide, 4) the role played by intoxicating agents, and 5) the discrimination of drivers involved in traffic accidents. However, it is one of the most important doctor´s duty to discriminate driver involved in accidents.
Here are described the recent methods for the medicolegal discrimination of driver involved in a road crash by means of both medicolegal analysis and traffic technological reconstruction.
