Abstract
Renal injury in frontal and side impact collisions appears to occur after direct impact from objects in the vehicle compartment. For frontal crashes occupant acceleration into the seat belt or steering wheel seems to result in renal injuries. Side impact injuries occur when the vehicle side panel intrudes into the compartment, striking the occupant. Further collision evaluation in larger data sets is required to substantiate our findings.
