The report documents a crash test to evaluate the response of Side Impact dummies in a moving deformable barrier into stationary vehicle left side impact crash test at an impact velocity in excess of the FMVSS 214 specifications. The test was conducted on a General Motors LRSV 4-door sedan at the TRC Crash Test Facility, East Liberty, Ohio. The test vehicle was impacted on the left side by a moving deformable barrier, crabbed to 27 deg., at 38.7 mph. The test was a simulation of a 90 deg. intersection collision with the striking vehicle travelling 35 mph and the struck vehicle travelling at 17.5 mph. Occupant responses of two side impact dummies were measured. One Biosid dummy was located in the driver's designated seating position and one Part 572 F dummy was located in the left rear seating position. The test date was June 27, 1991, and the ambient temperature was 88 F.
