TY - JOUR PY - 1986// TI - Collisions with passenger cars and moose, Sweden JO - American journal of public health A1 - Bylund, Per-Olof A1 - Thorson, Jan A1 - Eriksson, Antonina A1 - Bjornstig, Ulf SP - 460 EP - 462 VL - 76 IS - 4 N2 - The number of collisions between motor vehicles and moose is increasing in many countries. Collisions with large, high animals such as moose cause typical rear- and downward deformation of the windshield pillars and front roof, most pronounced for small passenger cars; the injury risk increases with the deformation of the car. A strengthening of the windshield pillars and front roof and the use of antilacerative windshields would reduce the injury risk to car occupants.
