How do you become blind from a car crash?

Well actually, it completely and entirely depends on the type of injuries sustained if this conducts blindness and most certainly, the type of crash. For example, simply if it was a Lorry - car crash, the people in the car probably wouldn't survive - the lorry would be too heavy and big for the car. But in other cases (this is a good example for an essay or something like that), if the crash happened in the dark and the other vehicle had its full headlights on, the effect of the light could blind.


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. If the vehicle is hit from behind the passengers in the vehicle won't suffer injuries quite as serious and commonly include injuries such as minor bruising and whiplash.
