1. A computer-implemented method for generating data regarding a vehicle crash, the method comprising:
receiving, using one or more processors of a mobile computing device within a vehicle, initial sensor data from the mobile computing device indicating that the vehicle crash has occurred, and additional sensor data output by at least one sensor of the mobile computing device for a first amount of time; and
generating, using the one or more processors, combined sensor data that includes first sensor data stored in a memory of the mobile computing device corresponding to a period of time before the crash of the vehicle and second sensor data stored in the memory of the mobile computing device corresponding to a period of time after the crash of the vehicle.
