An in-depth crash analysis is a systematic approach to identify the contributing factors and to discover the causes of a crash. The important starting point for this concept is to map-out the series of events which result in a crash. This is an alternative approach which leads to efficiently remedy and prevent future crashes. This paper adopts the in-depth crash analysis concept to indentify the contributing causes of a fatal crash in a case study of Srisab Gate, one of the main entrances of the Prince of Songkla University, Hat Yai, Thailand. Crash information including at scene and related information were collected. Data analysis, evaluation of potential causes, and recommendation of countermeasures of the case study are presented. The research team wishes to spark up the concerned authorities’ interest in the indepth crash analysis and hopes to promote this concept as an effective tool to tackle the road crash problem in Thailand.
