A fatality (death) on a UD-10 should be listed as which letter?

  1. K

  2. C

  3. PI

  4. FR

The correct answer is: K

In the context of the UD-10 form, which is used by law enforcement to report crashes, fatalities are specifically categorized to ensure clear communication of the circumstances surrounding the incident. The letter "K" represents a fatality or a death resulting from a motor vehicle crash. This categorization allows agencies that review and analyze crash data to easily identify and track fatalities, thus highlighting the severity and impact of traffic incidents. By designating a fatality as "K," it distinguishes it from other types of injuries or damages reported on the form. Other classifications, like "C" for "incapacitating injury" or "PI" for "possible injury," refer to non-fatal injuries which are not applicable in this scenario. Understanding the correct use of these designations is crucial for accurate reporting and data analysis, which ultimately helps in traffic safety policies and law enforcement strategies.
