Rear Passenger's Side: Direct Impact Trauma: Although somewhat shielded by the front seat and its occupant, the rear passenger's side occupant sƟll faces risks from the angled force. PotenƟal injuries include rib, pelvis, and limb fractures.
Head Trauma: The passenger's head could collide with the side window or C-pillar, leading to potenƟal head injuries. This can cause a brain bleed, which is extremely serious because the brain does not heal like other tissue heals. If there is a brain bleed, there is no place for the swelling of the blood to go. The body simply reabsorbs the blood but when that happens in the brain, it leaves hole in the brain like Swiss cheese. That's why there's often a loss of consciousness and for a lengthy period after the wreck, we have mental fogginess, forgetfulness, and headaches.
