Abstract

A study was conducted by selecting cases from available NCSS /NASS data on nearside crashes involving fatal chest and abdominal injury. Twenty- five cases indicated over- involvement of older front- seat occupants in multi- vehicle side impact crashes (76%>50 years old and 28%>70 years old). Analysis of the 1975- 86 FARS confirmed that older occupants are overrepresented in nearside crashes with an incidence of 64%>50 years old and 36%>70 years.
