We present a case of a fatal motor vehicle collision of a 22-year-old car driver, who died at the scene after losing control of his car, and subsequently collided with a tree by the roadside. The subsequent autopsy revealed penetrating injuries on the neck, severing the larynx, carotid artery, jugular vein and fracturing the cervical vertebrae. Internal examination showed the offending material to be a semi-cylindrical metal fragment, which had lodged within the paravertebral muscle. Examination of the car with the authorities found that the metal fragment originated from a defective airbag booster cannister, which shattered upon deployment.
我们呈现了一个 22 岁汽车司机的致命车祸案例。该司机在失去对汽车的控制后，当场死亡，并随后与路边的一棵树相撞。随后的尸检显示颈部有穿透性损伤，切断了喉、颈动脉、颈静脉，并使颈椎骨折。内部检查显示，致伤物是一个半圆形的金属碎片，它位于椎旁肌内。与当局一起检查汽车时发现，金属碎片来自有缺陷的安全气囊助推器罐，该助推器罐在展开时破碎。
