Y03: Assault by crashing of motor vehicle
Assault by crashing of a motor vehicle typically refers to injuries resulting from a deliberate act of impact by a motor vehicle intended to cause harm. This can occur through various scenarios, including vehicular assault, vehicular manslaughter, or the deliberate use of a car as a weapon. The symptoms and injuries resulting from these assaults can range in severity, from relatively minor impacts such as scrapes and bruises, to more significant and potentially life-threatening issues like fractures, internal bleeding, brain injuries, or spinal cord damage. The onset of symptoms often occurs immediately following the traumatic event but may also develop over time. In many cases, physical injuries will be accompanied by emotional trauma, which may manifest as post-traumatic stress disorder or other psychological conditions. Progression of these conditions depends greatly on the severity and location of the injuries, as well as the individual's overall health and response to treatment.
