Why Passenger Injuries Often Require Extra Attention
Passengers, unlike drivers, have no control over vehicle speed or maneuvering in the moments before a crash. This leaves them especially vulnerable in collisions, where seat positioning and impact angles can contribute to injuries such as concussions or other head trauma.
Even when passengers remain conscious and alert—as in Tuesday’s crash—head injuries can worsen if not treated promptly. Medical evaluation is critical to ensure there are no delayed complications.
In Indianapolis, busy corridors like Massachusetts Ave see consistent traffic during both day and evening hours, which increases the likelihood of multi-vehicle or high-impact crashes. Authorities continue to stress cautious driving and attentiveness to reduce the risk of such incidents.
