What areas are the accident sites divided into?
Features of inspecting the scene of a traffic accident
Inspection of the scene of the accident allows you to provide an evidential answer to a number of questions related to the exact location of the collision, collision or other type of accident, to road conditions and the organization of traffic in this place, to the position and condition of vehicles, to the location of victims and the consequences of the accident, to material evidence and following. It allows you to build a correct version of the mechanism of the incident from the initial stage of the investigation.
The main task of inspecting the scene of the incident is to comprehensively identify the circumstances characterizing the mechanism of the incident as a whole.
During the inspection, along with identifying and recording objects and traces, it is necessary to obtain preliminary oral information from eyewitnesses of the accident, which will allow one to act more purposefully, concentrate attention on the circumstances directly related to the mechanism of the accident, reasonably limit the inspection area and adjust the activities of members of the investigative and operational team. groups.
An integral part of the inspection of the scene of the incident is information about the area, characteristics of road conditions, objects and traces found on the road.
It is recommended to begin an inspection by identifying a permanent landmark to which you can “link” all other inspection objects. Such an object can be a kilometer pole, an intersection, a stationary structure and other objects. The investigator’s task is to ensure that the records in the protocol, if necessary, make it possible to accurately determine where exactly the objects discovered during the inspection were located.
If the accident site is located in a populated area, indicate the street name and house number. Outside populated areas - indicate the highway (road) number, kilometer and landmark.
An inaccurate “reference” of a place or insufficient information about an object that is taken as the main reference point can subsequently seriously complicate the investigation and serve as a basis for sending the case for further investigation.
The inspection should be carried out based on specific conditions, taking into account the recommendations outlined earlier. The direction of the road surface (direction of inspection) in a populated area is determined by the location of streets, squares, and outside the city - by populated areas.
The important elements of the road section are; roadway, shoulder, ditch, sidewalk, and outside the city - the so-called cut (i.e. that part of the road right of way that is located behind the ditch in the absence of a sidewalk.)
All elements of the road section are measured by width, and the ditch is also measured by depth and slope slope. The presence and height of curbs, the presence or absence of a marked center line and its type (solid, broken), the presence or absence of intersections and their nature are noted.
The accident scene inspection report reflects information about the type of road surface, its condition (dry, wet, clayey, sandy, presence of potholes and tears), the presence of a longitudinal or transverse slope of the road and its magnitude.
When a vehicle rolls over, it is important to determine the turning radius and the amount of lateral inclination of the road (turn). However, we must warn against getting carried away with linear measurements on the road. It is difficult to agree with the authors (Steshnits V.K., Yakushko V.I.) who propose to measure during an inspection using special instruments: the angle of convergence of streets or roads, the radius of curvature, the steepness of the descent or ascent, etc.
If the listed values remain unchanged, these measurements should not be made during the inspection of the scene of the incident, since this will take a lot of time, and the situation at the scene itself changes dynamically and quickly.
For example, tread rubber particles that form a skid mark on the surface erode or are washed away over time, as a result of which the length of the skid mark decreases. In 1-2 hours, braking marks on an asphalt concrete surface can become 20-30 cm shorter, on wet surfaces they can be hardly noticeable, and on an icy and compacted snow-covered road they can disappear completely.
During the inspection, first of all, measurements should be made of those parameters that are subject to rapid changes. As for the steepness of the descent or ascent, the radius of curvature, etc., all this exact data can be obtained by the investigator from the relevant government organizations that are in charge of the roads.
Indications in the protocol of inspection conditions (atmospheric phenomena, visibility, illumination, etc.) are important for understanding the mechanism of the accident.
An equally important factor influencing the development of road accidents are specific road conditions.
Therefore, the investigator must very accurately determine both the quality of the road surface and its actual condition (wet, swept, icy, etc.). For these purposes, the following terminology is adopted:
asphalt, concrete, gravel, soil, etc.;
dry, smooth, rough, very clean;
dry, smooth, clean (dusty);
moist, smooth, clean;
smooth, wet, dirty;
snow crust with sand and salt filling (or without it);
Practice shows that at the time of an accident on the surface of the roadway, as a rule, there is no even layer of water or snow, ice, dirt, etc., and its uniformity is also absent. More often on the road there are puddles of water, potholes, and fragments of liquid mud. All these circumstances must be reflected in the protocol. The concept of road conditions also includes the characteristics and condition of the roadsides, the presence or absence of sidewalks, dividing strips, bus stops, etc. All this information should also be recorded during the inspection of the accident scene.
The illumination of a road section also refers to the characteristics of road conditions. Depending on it, the driver selects the speed in order to have time to stop the vehicle if necessary, and also determines, taking into account visibility, which light to turn on.
Many other factors affect visibility distance: the size and color of various objects, the background against which these objects appear, the cleanliness of the windshield, weather conditions, the presence of oncoming traffic, etc. Some of them are recorded during inspection, others are revealed during interrogation of witnesses.
Important and sometimes decisive elements of traffic organization are traffic lights, road signs, markings and other road attributes.
All road signs and their locations must be recorded; traffic lights or semaphores, barriers, pedestrian crossings, traffic islands, condition of paint and location of markings, presence of an underground passage, directions of exits, their distance to the scene of the incident, i.e. all objects related to traffic in the area of the accident. Then, during the investigation, it will be determined what significance they have in a particular accident.
When starting to inspect the scene of an accident, the investigator must remember that often the cause of the incident is the careless behavior of the victim or persons driving other vehicles that appear on the roadway unexpectedly for the driver, in the immediate vicinity of passing vehicles. Opaque obstacles, due to which traffic participants usually appear, are usually formed by densely planted bushes and trees, fences of construction sites, and large vehicles parked on the side of the road. It is because of them that pedestrians, cars and motorcycles often suddenly appear.
Objects of the external environment that must be recorded in the incident scene inspection report include: houses, trees, bushes, kilometer signs, telegraph and electric lighting masts, arches, entrances, tram, trolleybus, and bus stops. It is also necessary to determine the distance of these objects from the scene of the incident. If necessary, all this data will be used when conducting an investigative experiment.
Now about those traces that can be discovered during an inspection of the crime scene.
First of all, these are dynamic or static tracks of vehicle wheels, traces of soil debris from parts of the vehicle during a collision, traces of blood and other traces of biological origin, particles of glass and paint coatings, etc. During the inspection of traces and small objects, the investigator and other persons participating in the inspection measure the distances from these objects to the elements of the road, large objects - nodes of the scene of the incident. Photographing is carried out using a scale ruler. The importance of traces of liquids, bulk substances and small objects (paint, glass fragments, etc.) increases in cases where it is necessary to search for vehicles and prove their involvement in the incident. Traces and objects, after their inspection and description, are removed and packaged in paper and plastic bags and test tubes. In this case, the glass fragments are placed in one bag if they were in the same place. Traces of bulk substances are also placed in separate bags. Traces of oils and other liquids are removed (scraped off) along with the surface layer of asphalt, wood, and soil. In addition, control samples of the surface layer of soil, asphalt, wood, etc. are taken. This is necessary for further forensic chemical studies of detected traces of liquid and bulk substances.
An indispensable object of inspection are traces of vehicles. When studying them, many particular versions may arise about the type, model, direction and speed of the vehicle. When the individual characteristics of the tire tread are reflected in the tracks, identification of the track former is possible using trace examination. In order to establish the type, model and brand of the vehicle, the track width and base of the vehicle, and the width of the treadmill are measured. To establish the tire model (which makes it possible to determine the vehicle model using lookup tables), it is important to record the shape of the tread pattern. To describe the shape of the tread pattern in the accident scene inspection report, a part of the trace equal to one step is delimited (a step is the section of the tread on which all the elements that determine the structure of the pattern are located), and a sketch is made on the diagram.
In addition, the dimensions of the design elements are measured. If individual signs of a tire are detected in the trace left by a freely rotating wheel, a plaster cast of this part of the trace is made.
The study of vehicle tracks allows us to solve another important problem at the scene of an incident: to establish the direction of movement of the vehicle, especially in cases where the driver fled the scene.
Brake marks are one of the most important objects to be inspected during an accident, since they are the starting point for establishing a number of circumstances: the direction of movement and speed of the car, the mutual distance of the car and the person when hitting people, vehicles in a collision, the stopping distance of the car, etc. .
Accurate recording of braking marks is important for understanding the mechanism of the incident; it allows one to establish the location, length, nature and shape of the marks. The main methods of recording are description, measurement, drawing traces on the diagram of the scene of the incident and photography.
Features of inspection of the scene of an incident during the investigation of road accidents.
Before inspecting the scene of the incident, you must:
— take measures to provide medical assistance to the victims,
- ensure security of the scene of the incident,
— safe movement of vehicles and pedestrians,
— safety of traces and material objects relevant to the investigation.
In case of WMD it is necessary to establish:
• the location of the accident (determine its boundaries);
• when the accident occurred (if possible) – time of day, year and, if possible (cases of obviousness), its type;
• all participants and witnesses of the accident (if possible), determine the direction of their movement before the incident (travel speed or pace; direction of movement; location on the road - lane, shoulder or sidewalk);
• place of initial contact (where the collision, collision, etc. occurred);
• further dynamics of the movement of the participants in the accident and their final position and condition (including the vehicle). This is necessary, first of all, if vehicles, pedestrians, animals, etc. moved before the start of the inspection;
• traces of the direction of movement of the participants in the incident at the site of initial contact and further movement.
Boundaries of the scene:
Initially, the boundaries are determined during a general inspection of the accident site. In addition, there may be cases when the boundaries are expanded and clarified. If it is initially difficult to determine the boundaries, then it is necessary to begin the inspection from the center to the periphery. At the same time, it is recommended to begin the inspection by identifying and recording quickly disappearing traces that are located both on the roadway (road surface) and on the vehicle, road structures, corpse, etc.
Road surface condition:
• wet (at the beginning of rain, with mud, clean);
• freshly fallen snow (indicating thickness);
• compacted snow (possibly interspersed with ice or with the inclusion of sand particles);
• icy or icy conditions (indicating air temperature).
In addition, an indication of the presence of:
- the longitudinal or transverse slope of the road and its magnitude, whether there are holes, waves, bumps, potholes, etc. on the surface.
— if there is a track, its depth (up to ... cm), width and length are indicated.
— in some cases there is a need to determine the angle of rotation (radius) and the territory of the intersection.
In addition to inspecting the roadway, it is necessary to inspect other road elements:
> sidewalk or shoulder – width and type of coating (asphalt, sand, crushed stone, slag, etc.), height relative to the roadway (curb);
> ditch – width, depth, slope of slopes.
> tram track – its track, displacement to the side, etc.;
> presence of landing stops or platforms.
The degree of illumination of the road section must be recorded:
Indicate which lamps are installed on lamp posts:
- fluorescent daylight,
— high-pressure mercury.
Weather conditions required:
The presence of external environment objects is indicated:
— road structures (traffic lights, semaphores, barriers);
— road signs, the effect of which extends to a given section of the road;
— trees and shrubs;
Having completed the general inspection, you need to move on to a detailed one, which includes:
1. Inspection of a section of the road (roadway, shoulder, sidewalk, etc.) to detect, record and remove traces.
3. Inspection of the vehicle.
Features of the accident scene inspection:
• The main task of inspecting the scene of an accident is to study the material situation at the scene of the accident. The main objects that make up the material situation and are subject to careful study are:
1) the section of the road on which the accident occurred;
2) traces of the vehicle and other traces at the scene of the incident, allowing to restore the mechanism of the event;
3) corpse (if the transport accident involves human casualties);
4) Vehicles involved in an accident.
• The peculiarity of such an inspection is the continuous change in the situation at the accident site, the need for a quick response due to the possibility of destroying traces of the accident.
• As a rule, the first at the scene of an accident are traffic police officers, who are entrusted with the responsibility of maintaining the situation of the accident, helping the victims and taking measures to detain the drivers of vehicles involved in the accident. Actions carried out within the framework of the above responsibilities often lead to a change in the situation at the scene of an accident. In such cases, it is necessary to take measures to record the situation at the time of the accident.
• The protocol is the main means of recording what is discovered. The tape measure method gives an error of approx. 4%. Use the stereophotogrammetric method - error 0.2%, takes about 10 minutes in total, records volumetric parameters.
Features of vehicle inspection:
• Inspection of the vehicle may be part of an inspection of the crime scene or a separate investigative action. Often an automotive specialist is involved in the inspection.
• The main objectives of vehicle inspection are:
— identification of traces and damage resulting from an accident;
— establishing the technical condition of the vehicle.
• Before starting the inspection, it is necessary to record the location of the vehicle relative to other landmarks (other vehicles, a corpse, the side of the road, etc.)
• When describing damage, one of the constant reference points from which the distance is measured should be the road level.
• To better record the condition of the damaged vehicle, photographs are taken according to the rules of detailed and detailed photography.
• After identifying and recording all visible traces and damage to the vehicle, it is necessary to establish the technical condition of the vehicle. If a detailed examination of the vehicle is necessary, an automotive technical examination is assigned.
• When inspecting several vehicles, it is necessary to compare the damage they received with each other.
Features of examining a corpse:
• Inspection of the corpse at the scene of an accident is carried out according to general rules. Particular attention is paid to traces and damage on the corpse, clothing and shoes are carefully examined.
Features of interrogation of vehicle drivers involved in an accident:
• The reliability of information obtained as a result of interrogation of vehicle drivers can only be determined in the totality of all collected evidence. When answering questions, drivers tend to make a subjective assessment of their own actions and the actions of other participants in the accident. This must be taken into account during the interrogation.
• Before interrogation, it is necessary to establish the driver’s identity and check the presence of the following documents:
— technical passport for the car;
— documents for cargo transportation;
- waybill, etc.
• The nature and scope of the question during interrogation is determined depending on the nature of the accident
90. Forensic examination in case of road accidents:
Questions about the mechanism of road accidents in general, about the location of the collision of the vehicle, the direction of their movement... sometimes - complex examinations with the participation of traceologists, physicists, chemists. The expert is provided with case materials, inspection reports, material evidence, witness statements, a forensic medical examination report, and photographs. Sometimes - personal research by vehicle experts and the road situation.
Some questions regarding the mechanism of development of an accident can be resolved during a forensic medical examination : establishing the position of the victim at the time of initial contact and the subsequent movement of the vehicle. Sometimes it is important to determine the physical condition of the driver, whether he has certain disabilities (insufficient visual acuity, color blindness, deafness...)
With the help of automotive technical expertise, the version of the participation of an unknown subject in the incident is verified. By calculating the mechanics of the vehicle’s movement and comparing the research results with the expected position and actions of the “3rd unit,” the expert can confirm or exclude the possibility of a road situation, which the alleged culprit insists on.
After checking the testimony, the examination is to answer the question of whether the driver has the ability to prevent an accident if he denies guilt. In the case of a vehicle malfunction - a comprehensive examination to determine the causes and time of destruction of parts and the possibility of timely detection of damage. Documents on the repair of the vehicle and the installation of a defective part, orders on the obligations of the persons responsible for the production of the vehicle are confiscated and inspected. Ex-prosecution, when the accused dispute the data on maneuvering, speed of the vehicle or pedestrian, they claim that the traffic violation was committed by another police officer. The investigator's conclusions are checked and possible errors are searched for.

What areas are the accident sites divided into?
What areas are the accident sites divided into?
When determining the location of the collision by the location of the debris in the longitudinal direction, it should be taken into account that the debris in the direction of movement of the vehicle is scattered in the form of an ellipse, the nearest edge of which passes from the point of impact at a distance close to the place of their movement in the longitudinal direction during the free fall. This distance can be determined by the formula:
In some cases, the location of the collision can be determined by the direction of the tracks left on the road by objects thrown during the collision. Such tracks can be scratches and successively located holes on the road left by parts of the vehicle, motorcycles, bicycles or cargo that has fallen, as well as traces of dragging of the bodies of drivers or passengers who fell out of the vehicle at the moment of impact. In addition, traces of the movement of small objects remain at the scene of the incident, visible in the snow, soil, dirt, and dust.
What areas are the accident sites divided into?
All types of accidents are characterized by the presence of wheel marks (rolling, braking). They are subject to mandatory recording in the protocol by photographing, making casts, copying onto dactyl film, raw rubber, photographic paper, etc. If several vehicles are involved in an incident, it is necessary to differentiate their tracks during the inspection.
and record all visible damage caused by both the primary contact of the machine with the obstacle and the secondary impact. Damage caused not by impact contact, but by deformation of parts or parts of the machine is also recorded. It is necessary to distinguish changes caused by poor-quality repairs, careless maintenance and other reasons from traces of an accident. During the inspection, the part or machine assembly that has been destroyed or damaged is precisely determined. When inspecting damage to transport, the sequence of occurrence of damage and destruction of parts and components as a result of the incident is determined. First you need to establish which parts of the machine first came into contact with obstacles, and then monitor the sequence of destruction. During the inspection process, it is necessary to accurately determine and record the location of the fall on the ground and the position of parts and parts of the machine, measure the distance between the points of initial contact of the vehicle; with an obstacle and detection of separated parts and assemblies.
What areas are the accident sites divided into?
If the shock loads acting on the braked wheel are directed from top to bottom, then it may unblock for a moment, because the traction force will exceed the braking force. If the impact load is directed from bottom to top, the wheel may come off the road. Sometimes, on the contrary, at the moment of impact, the wheel gets jammed by deformed parts of the car and, having stopped rotating, leaves a mark on the road.
To determine the location of the collision during the inspection of the scene of a traffic accident, it is necessary to detect, record and further examine all objective data that resulted from the incident. Such data, allowing the investigator and subsequently the expert to determine the location of the collision site on the roadway, may be:
What areas are the accident sites divided into?
It is necessary to take into account certain specifics of the inspection of the crime scene in cases of this category. It is almost always necessary to clear the roadway as quickly as possible to ensure normal traffic flow. Therefore, on the route, it is advisable to mark the location of the corpse, vehicle and other objects significant to the case, make the necessary measurements, and then inspect. In addition to the traditional recording of the scene of the incident (photography), it is advisable to use video recording.
When a report is received about a traffic accident involving the death of a victim or serious bodily injury and significant material damage, an investigative team consisting of an investigator and a traffic police inspector, a criminal investigation operative, a forensic scientist, a forensic specialist and automotive technician specialist. In case of fatal accidents, as well as incidents involving foreigners, the inspection is always carried out by an investigator.
Detailed inspection of the accident scene
When a vehicle rolls over, it is important to determine the turning radius and the lateral slope of the road. To establish the parameters of the road, it is recommended to take the necessary copies of plans from competent organizations (city trusts, DRSU, etc.).
When the boundaries of the accident scene have been determined, photo and video filming has been carried out during a general inspection of the accident site; a general inspection of the accident situation (roads, streets) is carried out; the degree of illumination of the path is determined; objects in the external environment are inspected , as well as road signs, pedestrian crossing signal devices, and objects related to the incident are identified.
What areas are the accident sites divided into?
At the same time, the court refused to assign the defense an examination using the ITPE method to the Institute of Mechanics of the Ufa Scientific Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences, justifying its position by the fact that the ITPE method “is not officially used in the system of state forensic activity,” which directly contradicts the scientific criterion specified in Art. 8, as well as Art. 41, 73-FZ “On state forensic activity in the Russian Federation” . The law also allows the courts to directly involve the author of the methodology as an expert (Article 57, Part 2 of Article 195, Part 4 of Article 199 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation).
For drawing conclusions about the guilt of a particular participant in an accident, establishing this angle is very important, but, as a rule, it is not enough. And therefore, it does not allow the court or other law enforcement officer to make a categorical conclusion without establishing the exact location of the collision and the orientation of the cars on the road at the time of the accident. because Establishing the angle of collision between cars does not allow simultaneous orientation of cars relative to the roadway in the absence of tracks.
Inspection of the scene of an accident
Of practical importance for participants in road accidents is knowledge of the legal foundations of weapons of mass destruction established by the procedural norms of the legislation of the Russian Federation on administrative offenses (Article 28.1.1 of the Russian Federation on Administrative Offenses) and the Criminal Procedure Code of the Russian Federation (Articles 176, 177, 180 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation).
Establishing the circle of eyewitnesses to the incident, confiscating recordings of surveillance cameras located in the area of the accident site, identifying the reasons contributing to its commission, sending the participants in the incident to undergo a medical examination (narcological, forensic).
General inspection of the accident scene
When a vehicle rolls over, it is important to determine the turning radius and the lateral slope of the road. To establish the parameters of the road, it is recommended to take the necessary copies of plans from competent organizations (mountain geotrusts, DRSU, etc.).
After determining the boundaries of the scene of the incident, photo and video shooting. ki, in the process of a general inspection of the accident site, a general inspection of the accident situation (roads, streets) is carried out; the degree of illumination of the path is determined; external objects are inspected, as well as road signs and pedestrian crossing signal devices; items related to the incident are identified.
Identification and recording of traces at the scene of an accident
Wheel marks from a vehicle are a very important factor in revealing the mechanism of an accident. Their study and recording should be given special attention. Wheel marks from a moving vehicle can be formed as a result of wheel rolling, lateral sliding and braking (longitudinal sliding). The study of traces is a complex process that requires knowledge of the basic laws of trace formation and the availability of photographs of experimental traces under various modes of vehicle movement.
- the section of the road where the accident occurred;
- relatively stable landmarks to which objects or traces related to the accident are linked in the diagram;
- vehicles that took part in the accident, the coordinates of their location relative to elements of the roadway and stable landmarks;
- vehicle wheel tracks - their location relative to the elements of the roadway, the length from the beginning to each vehicle wheel, indicating breaks, the length of the tracks in areas with different surfaces or with heterogeneous conditions of the surface;
- victim (corpse) - its location relative to the vehicle, elements of the roadway and traces at the scene of the incident;
- other traces and objects related to the accident - the location of parts and other objects separated from the vehicle (body fragments, parts of paint, glass fragments, soil debris, traces of liquids and oils, etc.) relative to elements of the roadway of vehicles, the size of traces of blood, the area of scattering of glass fragments, soil debris, etc.;
- width of the roadway, including separated lanes;
- width of sidewalks, roadsides, ditch profiles;
- turning radius;
- sizes of areas with heterogeneous coverage;
- sizes of areas with heterogeneous road surface conditions;
- size and location of road surface defects;
- location of road markings;
- location of road signs and traffic control devices;
- location of the barrier, signaling equipment, road signs at the railway crossing;
- coordinates of the collision site, collision with relatively stable landmarks.
The procedure and features of inspecting the scene of an accident
The next thing that provides maximum information for the investigator to establish the location of the collision is traces of scattered debris from the vehicles involved in the accident. It is necessary to identify the debris, identify their belonging to parts of a specific car and record their position.
Let us remind you that before the start of the investigative action, the investigator determines the boundaries of the inspection, gives instructions to the traffic police officers to fence off the scene of the accident, in such a way as to ensure the safety of the participants in the inspection and to prevent the loss and destruction of material evidence.
Detailed inspection of the accident scene
INSPECTION OF THE ACCIDENT SCENE
Inspection of the scene of a traffic accident consists of two stages:
1) general inspection, 2) detailed inspection. They, having their own characteristics, form a single whole.
General inspection of the accident scene.
At the first stage of a general inspection of the scene of the incident, the boundaries of the inspection are determined, orienting it relative to road signs or any objects in the environment (houses, electrical poles, buildings, etc.). An orienting overview and focal photo or video filming is carried out. In this case, road signs, signal devices, and the situation along the road should be included in the frame. It is advisable to carry out orientation photography using the linear panorama method. Survey photography should be done on a larger scale from several points from which the relative position of vehicles at the scene of the incident can be clearly seen. Nodal photography is carried out during a general inspection of the scene of the incident; during the process, the traces of the vehicle itself (brake mark), the corpse, its pose and location, as well as other traces and material evidence, road signs, etc. are photographed.
When the boundaries of the accident scene have been determined, photo and video filming has been carried out during a general inspection of the accident site; a general inspection of the accident situation (roads, streets) is carried out; the degree of illumination of the path is determined; objects in the external environment are inspected , as well as road signs, pedestrian crossing signal devices, and objects related to the incident are identified.
The exact coordinates of the road section are recorded during its inspection. If it is located in a populated area, indicate the name of the street and the number of the house opposite which it is located. On roads outside populated areas, the distance to the nearest kilometer post, road intersection or any populated area is measured.[10]
In populated areas, the direction of the roadway is determined by the location of streets, squares, etc.; outside the city, the determination takes place by populated areas.
All elements of the road section are measured by width, and ditch, in addition, by depth and slope slope. The presence and height of the curb, the presence or absence of a marked center line in its type (solid, intermittent), the presence or absence of intersections and their nature are noted.
The inspection report of the scene of a road traffic accident reflects information about the type of road surface, its condition (dry, wet, clayey, sandy, presence of potholes and digging), the presence of a longitudinal or transverse slope of the road and its magnitude.
When a vehicle rolls over, it is important to determine the turning radius and the lateral slope of the road. To establish the parameters of the road, it is recommended to take the necessary copies of plans from competent organizations (city trusts, DRSU, etc.).
It is necessary, under certain lighting and distances of various objects, to establish visibility conditions to them. It is also necessary to determine what type of lamps are installed on street lighting poles: incandescent lamps, daylight fluorescent lamps (DS type) or high-pressure mercury lamps (DRD type), factors such as the presence or absence of the moon and its phase must be taken into account .
If during an accident the electrical system of the vehicle at the scene has not failed, then the visibility distance must be determined by turning on the low and high beam headlights of the vehicle together. You can empirically measure the distance along a street or road from which a driver can detect an obstacle to traffic.
In case of an accident that occurred in the evening or at dawn, determining the visibility distance must be carried out at the same time of day on the second day and in similar weather.
Objects of the external environment recorded in the protocol include: houses, trees and shrubs, kilometer signs, telegraph and electric lighting masts, arches, entrances, sidewalks, tram, trolleybus or bus stops, railway crossings. It is also necessary to determine the distance of these objects from the scene of the incident.
Obligatory recording is subject to road signs, their location, traffic lights or semaphores, barriers, pedestrian crossings, traffic islands, the condition of the paint and the location of the markings, the presence of an underground passage, the direction of the exits, their distance from the scene of the incident - i.e. all objects related to traffic in the area of the accident.
Detailed inspection of the accident scene.
After a general inspection of the scene of the traffic accident, the investigator specifies the tasks that need to be solved during the upcoming detailed inspection. The auto technician will have to participate in the inspection of vehicles, their traces and parts, the doctor will have to participate in the inspection of the corpse, traces and substances of biological origin.
In order for the participation of specialists to be real, the investigator must, firstly, determine the sequence of inspection of objects and traces, and secondly, provide the specialists with the necessary initiative in fulfilling their duties.
The initiative of specialists can be aimed at finding, recording and seizing traces of vehicles, traces and substances of biological origin, studying the technical condition of vehicles, detecting their parts: glass fragments, debris, parts, traces and liquid leaks.
The most appropriate is the following sequence of inspection of traces and objects at the scene of a traffic accident:
1) inspection, fixation and removal of traces of liquids, bulk substances, small objects;
2) inspection of persistent traces of vehicles (braking marks, tire marks, etc.);
3) inspection of the corpse and vehicles;
The first group of objects and traces is subject to rapid change and destruction. Therefore, they must be inspected, recorded (described, photographed) and confiscated first.
Traces of the second group are more stable, therefore their inspection, as well as recording and removal without prejudice to the case, can be carried out after examining easily changing traces.
Objects of the third group can, after photographing them and marking their exact position on the roadway or street with chalk or paint, be moved to the side of the road or sidewalk. Such a need often arises when inspecting accident scenes on roads and streets with heavy traffic, on the tracks of urban electric transport.
What areas are the accident sites divided into?
If a reportable accident occurs, then a task force consisting of a traffic police officer, a police department investigator, forensic experts, and if the driver fled, then a criminal investigation officer must go to the scene of the incident. Upon arrival of the task force, the following documents are drawn up: - protocol of inspection of the accident scene; — protocol of inspection and verification of the technical condition of the vehicle; — certificate of accident; — explanations of the participants in the incident and witnesses; - an act of medical examination of drivers involved in an accident to determine their state of intoxication. In case of unreported incidents, a traffic police inspector from the traffic police service goes to the scene. He draws up a diagram of the accident, receives written explanations from the participants in the incident and, if necessary, from witnesses, draws up a certificate of the road accident with a list of all damage to the vehicles involved and a protocol on the administrative violation.

Deputy of the Voronezh Regional Duma Nikolai Domnich does not deny his assistance to the motorist who hit a child. The case received resonance due to the fact that deputy of the Voronezh Regional Duma Nikolai Domnich provided assistance to the alleged culprit of the incident.
