Intersection Geometry Can Shape Injury Severity
Two vehicles meeting near an intersection can create different types of force depending on their direction of travel. Turning movements, crossing paths, and lane position can influence which part of each vehicle absorbs the strongest contact.
Seat belts, airbags, vehicle size, and seating position can affect how occupants experience sudden movement inside the cabin. Side contact may place more force near doors, while frontal contact can move occupants toward the steering wheel or dashboard.
Road design can also influence how much reaction time drivers have before their paths overlap. Sight lines, traffic controls, nearby entrances, and lane width may affect visibility and available space. These factors can help explain why people in the same roadway encounter may experience very different levels of harm.
