What are the different injuries common to vehicular accidents?

Answer 2

Facial injuries from broken glass and airbags.

Broken ankles from the passenger compartment collapsing.

Broken legs from impacting the dashboard with your knees.

Neck and spinal injuries from the sudden stopping during a collision.

Broken arms from tightening up and "bracing" yourself for impact.

Head injuries caused by contact with the rear pillar. Usually seen from a side impact.

Broken hips and ribs from the door impacting you during a side impact.

Possible chest injuries from the seatbelt keeping you restrained.  

Being ejected from the car leaves you vulnerable to anything.

I saw a crash once where the truck crossed the centerline and entered the ditch. The driver swerved out of the ditch and spun the truck sideways. It then entered the other ditch on the other side and hit headfirst causing the rear to raise up. The driver was ejected and landed in the ditch. The truck then fell on it's side and landed on the driver. When we arrived on scene all you could see was his head sticking out from underneath the truck. Needless to say, he was DOA
