It is reported in less than one percent of pregnant women who are victims of road accidents. The authors report the case of a 26-year-old nulliparous patient presented with a uterine rupture resulting in fetal death at 32 weeks of gestation following a nonpenetrating abdominal trauma in a road traffic accident. An extreme emergency operation and abdominal laparotomy confirmed the imaging findings and led to conservative treatment of the uterus and a splenectomy.
