Car's Impact ProtecƟon Systems : Many modern vehicles have side and rear airbags. Their deployment can offer some protecƟon to the occupants, especially to the rear driver's side passenger in this scenario, against head and upper body trauma. Structural Integrity: The rear corner of the car near the wheel well is designed to absorb and redistribute impact forces. However, a force of 1 MN is significant, and significant deformaƟon, especially in the rear driver's area, is likely. Child Seats and Booster Seats: If any of the passengers are children, the type and posiƟoning of child restraints would play a criƟcal role in determining injury outcomes. If the passengers are in child seats or booster seats, the types of injuries are higher astronomically because even as strong and as safe as the car seats and booster seats are made today, we are still talking about injuries to a child who still has growth plates that are active, and the damage here is oftentimes damage that cannot be reversed. Secondary Collisions: AŌer the iniƟal angled impact, the vehicle might be redirected into secondary impacts with other vehicles, objects, or potenƟally even lead to a rollover due to the imparted force and angle. Given the described force and angle of the impact, the rear driver's side passenger would face parƟcularly grave risks, with serious injuries being highly probable. All occupants would require immediate medical aƩenƟon following such a collision.
