There are three periods during which car accident victims die: the
so-called golden hour (the first sixty minutes after the crash),
within hours of the crash (sometimes because the wrong treatment was
given at the scene), and over the following few weeks. Numbers in
the first two categories have fallen radically over the last thirty
years, partly because of improvements in car safety and partly due to
a better understanding of emergency medicine. It is important to
understand that most crash injuries are caused not by the first
collision (between the car and an external object), nor by the second
collision (between the victim's body and the interior of the
vehicle), but by the third collision: between the internal organs and
the walls of the body.
