Side impact motor vehicular crashes: patterns of injury.

Hurley Medical Center, Flint, Michigan 48502, USA.

Abstract

Side impact collisions represent a serious risk for injury for motor vehicle occupants. In 1992 side impact collisions were found in approximately 20% of all fatal motor vehicle crashes. This type of collision provides less protection to the occupants and is associated with a specific pattern of injuries. Because elderly drivers are frequently involved in side impact collisions, they are especially at risk for major trauma.
