Torso Injuries: The driver's body could be pushed laterally against the door or center console, leading to potenƟal rib fractures, bruising, or internal injuries.
Leg and Arm Injuries: The abrupt force can result in the driver's limbs being thrown or twisted, causing potenƟal fractures, sprains, or other injuries. Passenger Seat (Front): Whiplash: Despite being on the opposite side of the direct impact, the front-seat passenger might sƟll suffer from whiplash due to the violent lateral moƟon. It's really important here to understand that there is a thing that happens to our ligaments in these types of hyperflexion and hyperextension injuries, and it's called ligament laxity. And what that means is that the ligament is stretched out of its normal shape, and it never ever ever goes back to its regular shape.
