Vehicular intrusion occurs when external objects penetrate a vehicle’s occupant space during a crash. In this case, a passenger was impaled by a fence pole, likely due to the vehicle colliding with or being forced into the barrier. High-speed impact or structural failure can exacerbate intrusion severity. Forensic analysis involves examining impact angles, vehicle deformation, and injury patterns to determine cause and mechanism. The pole’s trajectory and penetration depth suggest the force and speed at which it entered. Such cases highlight the importance of reinforced vehicle structures and crash barriers to mitigate severe injuries from penetrating objects.
