TY - JOUR PY - 2004// TI - Case reports. 2. accidental strangulation: a case report JO - Medicine, science, and the law A1 - Gupta, Bansi Dhar A1 - Jani, C. B. A1 - Datta, R. G. SP - 359 EP - 362 VL - 44 IS - 4 N2 - Accidental strangulation, though reported, is uncommon. We report a case of an unusual accidental strangulation in which the floating end of the 'saree' of the pillion rider of a two-wheeler motorcycle got entangled in the moving rear wheel and constricted her neck. To our knowledge this is the first case of its type involving a two-wheeler motorcycle. Comments are also given on traditional Indian wear and safety measures required in two-wheelers to prevent such incidents.
