The presence of skull fracture before running over, which is determined by systematic anatomy combined with on-site and accident vehicle inspection; heavy vehicles (weight ≥ 12 t), medium vehicles (4.5 t ≤weight < 12 t), light vehicles (1.8 t <weight < 4.5 t), and light minicars (weight ≤ 1.8 t).
I: no skull fracture; II: multiple skull fractures; III: skull fractures with brain tissue overflow.
