abstract="Few studies exist on the cause and nature of injuries to children from ice-cream truck-related accidents. We reviewed the medical records of 11 children with orthopedic injuries treated at Children's Hospital-San Diego from 1985 to 1995 for injuries in such accidents. Of nine children on their way to or from an ice-cream truck who were struck by an oncoming vehicle, all were girls; eight had pelvic or lower-extremity fractures. When ice-cream trucks park on the street, they pose a danger to children, because children are drawn to them, and the trucks' large size blocks the vision of oncoming drivers.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
