Occasionally, one is able to glean important information from wounds such as in the 19-year-old female featured in this image. This individual was one of four people killed in a single-vehicle accident. The patterned abrasion on her chest is consistent with that left by a passenger-side seat belt. This feature proved key to the ultimate identification of the driver because severe body fragmentation and commingling at the scene led to confusion among investigators.
