This study analyzed ambulance crashes in depth using two cases of ambulance crashes among accidents based on the KIDAS (Korean In-Depth Accident Study) database in order to suggest safety regulations for operating emergency vehicles. For each case, the vehicle damage patterns coded by CDC were analyzed along with the on-scene photos and the severity of each patient’s injury was evaluated by a trauma score. One case was the private ambulance crashed to the guard rail on a slippery expressway in a rainy day of July 2014, causing one death, one serious injury, and one slight injury among three occupants. Another case was the public ambulance crash which fell over on the right side due to signal violation in October 2014, causing only slight injuries among four occupants. By assessing the problems about ambulance operation in Korea through the analysis of ambulance crashes based on the KIDAS database and comparing with the previous studies, this study suggests a plan for improvement.
