Question 7747
If a child is struck by a vehicle, the main point of impact is...
- the head and other vital parts of the body.
- the legs.
- the torso.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: the head and other vital parts of the body.
Because children are short, a vehicle strikes them at head level or at other vital parts of the body, and their injuries are often very serious. In the picture, children are playing soccer on the roadway next to parked cars, where a driver may see them too late.
