Consequently thirteen of these accidents did not involve a passenger car, and about one fifth of the total did not result in any significant injury. No car occupant was fatally injured, but some injuries were such that survival would have been uncertain had the crash occurred in a rural area remote from skilled emergency care. | Conference Name | Sixth international conference of the international association for accident and traffic medicine | Conference Location | Melbourne, Australia | Conference Date | 31 Jan - Feb 4 1977 | Page Range | 159-167 | Page Count | 9 |
