Traumas in car accidents:-

- Facial injuries- Spinal injuries

- Head injuries

- Internal organ injuries


29/43

Facial injuries These injuries are usually caused by

either assault or road crashes

Facial injuries can include cuts or

punctures to the skin, broken bones,

a dislocated jaw or eye injuries.

Windscreen glass is one of the

greatest dangers to the eyes ))can

result in permanent loss of vision((


30/43

Spinal injuries Road traffic accidents account for the

largest cause of spinal cord injuriesworldwide.

The spinal cord runs through the

bones of the spine called thevertebrae.

The vertebral column acts like a

telephone cable - sending messagesof feeling and sensation to the brain.


31/43

The brain converts them into

responses such as pain or movement

When the spinal cord is injured or

severed these messages areinterrupted or cannot get through at

all,

depending on the extent of the

damage a person will either be

partially or completely paralyzed from

the point of damage or lesion.


32/43

Head injuries

Road crashes account for 40% to50% of all brain injuries and are most

commonly associated with severe

injuries. The largest group of people

with brain injury is men aged 15-29

who have been in road crashes.


33/43


34/43

Internal organ injuries Crashes can cause massive serious

internal injuries.

The impact from road crashes can

also lead to internal bleeding.


35/43

Limb loss

For most people, losing a leg or anarm is a difficult thing to imagine. But

it can and does happen in road

crashes

36/43

Accident prevention

Although many accidents are causedby behavior that is difficult to alter,

by mechanical failure, or by road

conditions, some technical solutions

are becoming more widely available

to prevent accidents


37/43

Avoiding alcohol before driving

prevents road traffic accidents.

Strategies that increase the use of

seat belts or child restraints willresult in fewer injuries

Stricter enforcement of speed limits

will result in fewer injuries


38/43

Road Design should be improved .

Roadside guardrails (crash barriers)and crash cushions will reduce injury

severity.

Permanently switched on lights oncars can reduce daytime road traffic

accidents

Road safety education for children


39/43

According to the new traffic rules in

KSA and regulations, the police willwithhold driving licenses when

violations accumulate to a certain

number of points. The insurance of

passports, recruitment visas and exit-re-entry visas will also be dependent

on the payment of outstanding traffic

fines.
