N2  - Efforts to reduce the carnage on our highways have included those directed at  lessening vehicle occupant impact forces and at making the automobile a less  "hostile environment". We present four cases in which impact forces  were survivable, and indeed were survived, but wherein subsequent asphyxia  was the mechanism of death. These death represent 4% of all motor vehicle occupant deaths during the study period of one year. The criteria for the diagnosis and the implications for the injury and death reduction effort are discussed.<p />
