Abstract

Lateral car collisions with trucks or objects account for an important share of side collisions with seriously or fatally injured.

On the basis of 94 car/truck and 58 car/object side collisions the accident characteristics and the injury risks of the car occupants are illustrated.

The typical deformation phenomena hereby caused on the car are indicated and the kinds of structure loads are discussed.
