The cause of the crash remains under investigation. We hope those hurt make a full recovery.
How Can Two-Car Collisions Cause Arm and Wrist Injuries?
Arm and wrist injuries can happen when occupants brace themselves during sudden contact between vehicles. Hands may grip the steering wheel, dashboard, door, or other interior surfaces as the body moves quickly.
Cuts can also occur if broken glass or sharp interior materials are present. The severity of harm may depend on vehicle speed, seating position, restraint use, and where the force reaches the passenger compartment.
Even injuries that appear limited to the hand or wrist can involve deeper tissue, tendons, nerves, or small bones. Swelling and pain may also increase after the initial roadway emergency. Medical evaluation can help determine whether a wound needs cleaning, stitches, imaging, or other treatment, particularly when bleeding is difficult to control.
