Answer:

Frontal lobe/ forehead

Cervical and thoracic

Explanation: A “coup” injury occurs directly under the site where the head receives the blunt force trauma. Most often, in car accidents, this occurs at the frontal lobe (forehead) or the temples.

spinal cord injuries are most common in the cervical region (the upper-most region of the spine, starting just below the skull) and the thoracic region (the middle of the spine, between the cervical and lumbar regions)
