Even minor crashes can lead to serious medical complications, especially if symptoms like abdominal pain or dizziness are reported.
Emergency responders are trained to take extra precautions in these situations. Pain or discomfort following a collision should always be evaluated promptly, as internal trauma may not be immediately visible.
