Why Collision Forces Can Injure Vehicle Occupants
A collision between two vehicles can expose occupants to strong forces within a very short period. The body may move forward, sideways, or backward depending on where the vehicle is struck.
The head, neck, chest, back, abdomen, and limbs can all be affected during a high-force impact. Some trauma, including internal injuries or a concussion, may not be immediately visible.
Travel speed, contact angle, vehicle size, seating position, and restraint use can all influence injury severity. Medical evaluation can help identify fractures, internal bleeding, brain trauma, or other problems that may require continued treatment.
