For European cyclists, thorax injuries are associated with side-impact injuries in urban areas and/or at junctions. [1] In several European countries, such as the UK, Sweden, and France, around one quarter of traffic injuries are produced by side collisions, but accounted for 29 to 38% of injuries which were fatal. [4] In European vehicle side ...

In late 2021, IIHS used its new side-impact crash test on a batch of 20 small SUVs.Of those tested, only one, the Mazda CX-5, scored a Good rating. The seven sedans and wagons tested with the new ...
The severity of injury depends on the presence of crash-protective roadsides and the speed of impact. [50] In most of western Europe over 3,5 tonnes HGV have a speed limited from 80 km/h or 90 km/h, except in Great-Britain and Northern Ireland [51] and Italy, Romania and Bulgaria which have HGV speed limit up to 110 km/h. In France, HGV can ...
A motorist captured the moment leading up and the aftermath of a small plane crash near a highway Victoria, Texas that destroyed three vehicles and left four people injured.
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety and Highway Loss Data Institute (IIHS-HLDI) is an American nonprofit organization.It was established in 1959, and it is noted for its safety reviews of vehicles in various simulated traffic situations, including the effectiveness of a vehicle's structural integrity and safety systems during a collision, in addition to examining improvement on such ...
A crash test dummy, or simply dummy, is a full-scale anthropomorphic test device (ATD) that simulates the dimensions, weight proportions and articulation of the human body during a traffic collision. Dummies are used by researchers, automobile and aircraft manufacturers to predict the injuries a person might sustain in a crash. [ 1 ]
Crash simulations are used to investigate the safety of the car occupants during impacts on the front end structure of the car in a "head-on collision" or "frontal impact", the lateral structure of the car in a “side collision” or “side impact”, the rear end structure of a car in a "rear-end collision" or “rear impact”, and the roof structure of the car when it overturns during a ...
