2.3 Police
The police are responsible for making the crash site
safe from other traffic. By redirecting other traffic and
sealing off the area from curious people, the safety increases.
The police are also responsible for identifying
the injured and dead and to investigate the circumstances
of the crash. The police also decide on the autopsy of the
fatally injured. The autopsy rate in Sweden is nearly
100% for traffic victims and alcohol and drug analysis
is routinely done. About 30% of the traffic fatalities are
alcohol related
