As requirements, customer (PERSON) and car, car and accident relationship is one-to-many. It

was necessary to establish a CAR-ACCIDENT and ACCIDENT buffer relationship entity. There

is a unique Accident Report ID for each unique car (by car license), which in turn has all the

information for each accident and can be assigned to the same car for multiple accidents.

number of incidents assigned to each vehicle. There is no Car License as a Foreign Key in the

Accident Entity without an Accident Report ID.
