POSSIBLE INJURY – Complaint of pain without visible injury.3. NON-INCAPACITATION INJURY – Any injury, other than a fatal injury or an incapacitatinginjury, that is evident to observers at the scene of the crash in which the injury occurred. Example:contusions (bruises), laceration, bloody nose.4.

FATAL – Any injury that results in death within a 30-day period after the crash occurred.Determinations of severity are made at the scene of the crash. The only exception is when a personsubsequently dies as a result of crash injuries. In these cases, a five (5) for “fatal” must be enteredon the form if it has not been entered previously.
