Fault
In every crash, one vehicle or person is considered at fault. 

When two or more vehicles crash one of the vehicles is determined to be at fault by the police.  Between a pedestrian and a car, either the car or pedestrian is determined at fault.  In a single vehicle crash the car involved in considered at fault.  This 'fault' designation is attached to the data so that one can determine whether a death occurred to a person in a vehicle at fault or not
