What Can Happen When Someone Is Trapped After a Motor Vehicle Crash?
Entrapment can occur when damage to a vehicle prevents an occupant from getting out without assistance. Severe damage to doors, the roof, or other parts of the passenger area may restrict access. Emergency crews may need to create an opening before the person can be removed safely.
Injury assessments can vary based on the type and location of the impact. Medical personnel may check for visible wounds as well as possible injuries to the head, neck, chest, or limbs. The condition of the vehicle can also help show where the impact occurred.
Roadway conditions, vehicle positions, and damage patterns can provide useful information about how an accident unfolded. Witness accounts and photographs may also help establish what happened before and during the incident.
