Trauma Research Group of UCLA School of Medicine is engaged in its sixth year of investigating injuries sustained in automobile accidents; study was made of 290 collisions containing 464 front seat car occupants; of 405 injured occupants, 141 received their lower extremity injuries against instrument panel; occupant's most serious injury was related to car model year, age of occupant, vehicle weight, and estimated impact speed; statistically, regression analysis shows very strong correlation of these variables and collision injury; it is significant that number of lower extremity injuries drops steeply for vehicles from 1957 through 1967; rear seat occupant injuries were not considered in paper.
