1) Deceleration of the automobile, occurs while the automobile moves another object &
comes to a forestall.

the whole crash.
Three) Deceleration of internal organs, that consist of inner organs that continue ahead
momentum till they are stopped by means of anatomical restraints.
, 4) Secondary collisions, which arise whilst a car occupant is hit by items shifting in the
automobile (unfastened items).
5) Additional influences, that the vehicle can also get hold of whilst it's far hit by means of a
2d car or is deflected into another.
