What Can Happen When Multiple Vehicles Crash?
A crash involving several vehicles can create multiple points of impact and increase the chance of injuries. The position and speed of each vehicle can affect how the collision develops and how much damage occurs.
Vehicle occupants can also face different risks based on where their vehicle is struck. Seat belts and properly functioning safety equipment can help reduce the risk of severe injury in a crash.
When someone becomes confined inside a damaged vehicle, specialized equipment may be needed to create a safe exit. The extent of vehicle damage, the occupant’s position, and the location of the impact can affect how difficult extrication is.
