Abstract

This paper reviews a study to test the hypothesis that in side impact collisions, drivers in left-side travelling vehicles would have an increased chance of liver injury while those in right-side travelling vehicles would have an increased chance of spleen injury. Data from three in-depth accident databases in the US, the UK and Australia were studied and analysed. Results showed no support for the hypothesis but indicated that in either case near-side impact was more likely to result in both liver and spleen injury than far-side impact. For the covering abstract see ITRD E121180.
