Airbag-Related Injuries in Louisville Traffic Collisions
While airbags are a life-saving feature, their forceful deployment can cause additional trauma—particularly for older adults. In Tuesday’s incident near Taylor Blvd, the 68-year-old woman’s complaints of pain in multiple areas are consistent with airbag impact, which can result in whiplash, bruising, or sprains in the upper body.
Head, back, and arm injuries may not appear immediately severe but can worsen in the hours or days following the accident, especially for elderly individuals. EMS responders are trained to monitor these symptoms and determine if hospital transport is necessary.
