Why Side and Angled Collisions Can Cause Serious Trauma
When two vehicles collide near an intersection, occupants may be exposed to front, side, or angled impacts depending on traffic flow. Even a relatively brief impact can cause sudden movement inside the cabin.
The head, neck, back, chest, and limbs can all be affected by crash forces. Seat belts and airbags may reduce the risk of injury, but they cannot prevent all types of trauma.
Travel speed, impact angle, seating position, restraint use, and vehicle structure can all influence injury severity. Some symptoms may also develop gradually after the collision rather than appearing immediately.
