Question

An unrestrained driver of a car that has struck a tree at 45 mph has suffered a contusion to his heart. The EMT would recognize that this injury occurred during which impact of the​ collision?

Answer 1

During organ collision.

Step-by-step explanation:

When the driver crashes and the car stops moving, the driver's organs are still moving and will impact against other organs, tissues or bones, causing really serious injuries that can damage organs, kill the driver or, in this case, cause a heart contusion. The seatbelt would have minimized the impact.
