The larger the mass and the speed, the larger the force it would produce if it crashes something. Some car crashes produce minor injuries because maybe this car is small and runs at very slow speed which would mean less force when in impact with another. However, if a big truck crashes, it is expected to produce a larger force causing catastrophic injuries.
