Abstract

High velocity impact associated with automobile accidents produces a pattern of injury familiar to physicians who care for these patients. Motorcycle, pedestrian, and bicycle/moped accidents are responsible for a substantial percentage of highway collisions leading to critical injury, disability, and death. Based on the data, six significant conclusions delineating the differences in automotive versus non-automotive injury patterns were found.
