Women Are Almost Twice as Likely to be Trapped in a Car After a Crash

May 18, 2022 – A new study out of the UK has found that women are almost twice as likely as men to be trapped in a vehicle after a crash. Women suffered more hip and spinal injuries when involved in a car crash, whereas men sustained more head, face, chest and limb injuries.

Researchers say this also may be linked to why women are more likely to be trapped in a vehicle as injuries to the pelvis can make it harder to escape a wreck by oneself.

“This sex-disaggregated data may help vehicle manufacturers, road safety organizations and emergency services to tailor responses with the aim of equitable outcomes by targeting equal performance of safety measures and reducing excessive risk to one sex or gender,” the study’s authors wrote.
