X-ray shows horrific injuries of crash victim who had feet on dashboard
Written by News on 25/01/2020
Police have shared an X-ray of a crash victim who had her feet up on a car dashboard to warn passengers of the dangers.
The image, released by officers in Wales, shows the woman’s broken hips, with the joint between the leg and pelvis completely out of joint and protruding out of the skin.
Several other bits of bone also appear to have come loose.
In the right leg, it appears the thigh has snapped completely.
Subsequent tweets say the woman survived, but suffered life-changing injuries.
The X-ray was shared by Sargent Ian Price on Twitter.
He said: “Here is an X-ray of horrific injuries sustained to the front seat passenger who had their feet on the dashboard at the time of a collision.
“If you see your passenger doing it stop driving and show them this.”
Although not illegal in the UK, putting your feet up on the dashboard could become a problem if you obstruct the driver’s view of the wing mirror.
