Rear Driver's Side: Direct Impact Trauma: The rear driver's side passenger is sƟll close to the impact zone and faces significant risks. PotenƟal injuries include rib, pelvis, and limb fractures, as well as concerns for internal injuries.
Head Trauma: The passenger's head could be thrust against the rear driver's 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.
