• Bruising and soft tissue injuries, caused by sudden stops or side impacts that throw the body forward or sideways.
• Neck and back pain may develop after even low-speed collisions due to the force of the impact.
• Concussions or mild head injuries, especially if a child bumps their head during the crash.
