During a car crash, rotational movement of the occupant’s head against the jagged glass resulted in a deep incised wound to the neck, severing vital structures and causing fatal hemorrhage. Forensic examination focuses on injury patterns, blood distribution, and glass fracture characteristics to confirm the mechanism of injury. The sharpness of the glass, impact dynamics, and victim positioning are critical factors in reconstructing the event. Such cases underscore the dangers of compromised vehicle glazing in crashes.
