Abstract

Side impacts of passenger cars with respect to where, when, how and why they occur, are discussed. Side impacts of passenger cars produce higher inury rates than do other impacts. Major use is made of both the fatal Accident Reporting System (FARS) and the National Crash Severity Study (NCSS) to estimate the frequency and severity of side impacts to passenger cars.
