Abdominal injuries due to single motor vehicle collision
AI-generated summary
Yu Qian Wang, a rear seat passenger in a motor vehicle, died from abdominal injuries sustained in a single-vehicle collision. The crash occurred when the driver, who was inexperienced, lost control while attempting to overtake. Ms Wang's seatbelt was incorrectly fastened under her arm rather than over her shoulder, preventing it from functioning as designed. The coroner found that had the seatbelt been worn correctly, she would likely have survived. This case highlights the critical importance of proper seatbelt use and passenger education, particularly for rear seat passengers who may not receive adequate safety instructions.
