Abstract

When a pedestrian was hit by bumper and runover by tire of car, tire impression marks or damaged skin and fractured born marks were remained on dead body. Namely, to obtain the best result for analysis of traffic accident involved damaged human body, it must be considered both the analysis of autopsy and the analysis of traffic accident reconstruction. As these kinds of cases were managed to solve when one part of analysis was not for sure but some cases were missing because we have any regulated system to comply the results of both parts. This case is as follows, As soon as the child run across the street, the automobile was passing by and he went into between front tire and read tire and he was runover by rear tire and he died. Unfortunately this case was treated by police as the child was fault. However we studied this case both the analysis of tire impression and damaged mark of dead body and the aspect of traffic accident reconstruction. Finally, we found out the fact that the car hit the child and runover front and rear tire of the car. This case is valuable because we could find the truth that the child was not fault. Like this manner, here we would like to suggest a system or any kinds of organization should be considered so that the two forensic parts can be analyze together.
