What are some common injuries resulting from an auto crash?
The injuries from a car crash can depend upon how the impact occurs. If you are in a frontal collision inside a passenger car, common injuries can vary from minor issues such as small cuts and bruising to serious injuries such as bone fractures, concussion and crush injuries. It is more likely that the driver in this type of a crash will be injured due to the chest of the driver impacting the steering wheel. If the vehicle impacts at speed and a seat belt is worn then there may be some serious bruising across the chest.
