The main simple mechanisms that cause traumatic injuries in road accidents are: The impact mechanism, the most common mechanism of injuries; The fall mechanism is present when traumatic injuries are the result of contact with a rough plane such as soil or other vehicle; The design mechanism is a simple mechanism that targets both vehicle occupants and pedestrians; The limestone is the passage over the victim of the rolling stock of the vehicle; Hyperrendemia and / or hyperreflexia of the spine, this mechanism is frequently the one responsible for the determination of traumatic vertebral-medullary lesions, also called whiplash.
