What Are Common Injuries in Two-Vehicle Crashes?
Two-vehicle crashes can cause injuries ranging from minor cuts and bruises to more serious harm. The severity usually depends on vehicle speed, the direction of travel, seat belt use, and where the vehicles made contact.
Common injuries can include neck and back pain, strains, broken bones, and head injuries. Some symptoms may appear hours after a crash rather than immediately.
Seat belts help keep occupants from being thrown inside a vehicle or ejected during a collision. Properly adjusted head restraints can also help reduce certain neck injuries.
Drivers can reduce the likelihood of serious crashes by maintaining a safe speed, leaving enough space between vehicles, and staying attentive to changing traffic conditions.
