There are several areas that have been changed in the newDI-9 form:• More information is collected on crash occupants• New primary and secondary driver contributing factors• New latitude and longitude variables• New section for reportable crashes• New section for commercial vehicles• New coding for the purpose of commercial vehicles• New trailer information placement• New variables for estimating speed• Sequence of event variables have been expanded• Most harmful event has been added• New estimating method for damages• New work zone code• New workers present variable• New system for estimating property damage• New code for digital film• New placement for driver/occupant injury• New variables for safety equipment used• New variables for airbags• New supplemental sheet for additional occupants and witnesses• Contributing circumstances reorganized• Pedestrian and bicyclist info captured differently• New seating position chart• New ejection path codes• Commercial vehicle design is simplified10
