Enter the total count of non-motorized units.
The following are considered non-motorized units:
-
Occupants of non-motor vehicle transport devices – note
that each occupant of a non-motor vehicle transport device
becomes a non-motorized unit. See the examples below:
Example 1: A horse-and-buggy with 4 people in it (the coachman and 3 passengers) is struck by a van occupied by one person, the driver. In this scenario, the horse-and-buggy is NOT considered a unit. Each person on the horse-and-buggy becomes a non-motorized unit involved in the crash. This scenario would be filled out as shown in the image below:
Please note that a PERSON section would be filled out for each one of these persons (the driver of the van and the four people in the horse-and-buggy).
Example 2: A bus travelling Southbound on Seward Highway is occupied by 8 persons including the driver. The driver falls asleep and collides with a train occupied by 167 people. Six people in the bus and four people in the train are injured. The driver of the bus is not one of the injured people. In this scenario, the train is NOT considered a unit. Each injured person on the train becomes a non-motorized unit involved in the crash. This scenario would be filled out as shown in the image below:
Please note that PERSON sections would have to be filled out:
- for each one of the injured people in the train
- for each one of the injured people in the bus (see the exception under the TOTAL NUMBER OF PEOPLE IN VEHICLE field)
-
one for the driver of the bus regardless whether or not
he/she is injured as a result of the crash
-
Pedestrians
-
Bicyclists - note that with multi-person bicycles, the
bicycle itself is NOT considered a unit involved in the crash.
Rather each person becomes a non-motorized unit involved in the
crash. See the example below:
Example: A motor vehicle travelling Westbound on Tudor Rd is occupied by 4 persons including the driver. The driver loses control and strikes a tandem bicycle. The bicycle had two people on it and was pulling a child bicycle trailer with a child in it.
In this scenario, the tandem bicycle is NOT considered a unit. Each person on or pulled by the bicycle becomes a non-motorized unit involved in the crash.
This scenario would be filled out as shown in the image below:
Please note that PERSON sections would have to be filled out for each one of these persons.
