RUIZ, José Ignacio e HERRERA, Aura Nidia. Road traffic accidents with injured in Colombia according to information sources: General characterization and accident typologies. CES Psicol [online]. 2016, vol.9, n.1, pp.32-46. ISSN 2011-3080.
The aim of this paper is to describe the social dynamics of road traffic accidents - occurrence forms, consequences of accidents, victim typologies - and their relations with socio demographic variables. Data of two types were analyzed: the driving victimization survey (subjective traffic acci-dents) by a non-randomized sample of high school students (n =2292) from 20 main Colombian cities and official statistics of traffic injured (objective traffic accidents) in Bogotá during 2009 (n=2300). Through a cluster analysis and combining vehicle characteristics, caused damage and driver age- sex- and other actors of the road, the results showed four types of accidents: 1) per-sonal vehicle driver, 61 year-old or older pedestrian fatality. 2) Pedestrian victim from 0 to 10 years old, injury by facial trauma. 3) Passenger or woman victim from public transportation or vehicle falling, neck injuries. 4) 21-30 year-old driver man of moto or bicycle, crash victim, leg and hand injured.
