Crash Viewer

Download NASS CDS Images (1997 - 2003)

Due to technology limitations of the legacy viewer, NHTSA was unable to transition (1997 - 2003) Investigation-Based case viewer data to a formal viewer. Data is available via the NHTSA File Transfer Protocol (FTP) server, which can be accessed via this link (click here) and the images are available through this website. The capability to search by a Case ID or a Case Number is provided here.
