N2  - This report describes age, gender, trauma mechanics aspects and procedures from 643 motor vehicle crashes, MVC, victims in Tietê and Pinheiros expressways, by considering the prehospital Revised Trauma Score (RTS). The RTS = 12 victims' were 90.8%, with RTS = 11 added 4.0% and in group with RTS < 10, 5.2%. Among the RTS < 10 victims, the pedestrians stand out (36.4%), the frontal impacts (24.2%) and the projected (36.4%) or trapped victims (15.1%), and those that received advanced life support procedures. The motorcyclists and the male victims with 21 with 30 years of age were predominant. This study is expected to contribute to a better assistance to MVC victims.<p />  <p>Language: pt</p>
