Abstract

This case report documents fetal death in utero at 30 weeks' gestation due to subdural and subarachnoid haemorrhages, resulting from a motor vehicle accident in which the mother sustained 'seat belt' and facial injuries. There was no evidence of placental abruption. The causes of fetal deaths in utero following maternal involvement in motor vehicle accidents are discussed.
