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 T-bone collision, the vehicle might experience secondary impacts with other vehicles, objects, or could potenƟally roll over. Given the force described and the impact's locaƟon, the rear passenger's side occupant is at a parƟcularly high risk, with severe injuries being highly probable. All occupants would need immediate medical care following such a collision.
