When one vehicle collides into the side of another, it’s called a broadside accident. For motorists, broadside accidents are dangerous because only a metal and glass door separates the victim from the colliding vehicle. For motorcyclists getting broadsided by a car, the situation is more severe because there’s nothing protecting the person from the impacting car. The area of impact occurs at the motorcyclist’s legs and hip area. This causes fractures to the leg and hip. Injury can occur to the organs within the hip area such as the intestines,.
