NTSB Safety Recommendations H-11-34 through -35

************************************************************

The National Transportation Safety Board makes the following safety recommendations to the

Governors Highway Safety Association:

Work with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to add a standard definition for "cross-

median crash" and a data element for cross-median crash accidents to the Model Minimum Uniform

Crash Criteria. (H-11-34)

Inform your members of the circumstances of this accident, emphasizing that most of the van

occupants who died in the accident were not restrained by seat belts and that, like Kentucky, other

states may have seat belt laws that do not include 15-passenger vans and similar vehicles. (H-11-35)
