CrashDraw is a very easy to use program for drawing vehicle crashes.
It is intended primarily for police officers needing to quickly and
accurately sketch collision details for their reports. CrashDraw is
a free program (
donations are appreciated!) that may appeal
mostly to smaller departments that do not have the budget or are
unable to train their officers to use the large, complex, and
expensive crash reconstruction software that is available on the
market.
To be clear, CrashDraw is not a replacement for high-end accident
drawing software. It was designed and developed by a police officer,
who is also a software engineer, to replace generic drawing programs
with one specialized to render relatively simple crash scenes. It is
very quick to learn and use, and takes a lot of pain out of creating
these images for crash reports.
Like all of my software, CrashDraw is not digitally signed because
of the cost associated with doing so for free software. You may
receive a warning that this software is from an unknown publisher
during installation. The software is safe to install as long as you
download it from this website.
No-Install Version
If your department does not allow you to install software on their
computers, you may
download the portable version of CrashDraw
as a ZIP file and unzip it to a flash drive, hard drive, or anywhere else
your computer can run software. Extract all files and launch
CrashDraw.exe to start the program. If you only want to draw a single
object (vehicle, person, animal, etc.) for the purpose of copying it
to the Windows clipboard to paste into another program, you can create
a shortcut to CrashDraw.exe with the -quick command line option.

CrashDraw requires at least Microsoft Windows 7 and the
Microsoft .NET Core 7 runtime. You probably already have this on
your computer. If not you will be prompted to download and
install it when WreckDraw is launched for the first time.
