I have to describe injuries. I have face cut by shattered glass, and face burned by the gases in the air bag. Any ideas? Could someone's legs get smashed somehow? How would the ones you explained happen?

It is for a book I am writing. A drunk driver had lost control of his truck on a back road, missed a tree and hit the other guys truck. Call it a soap opera if you wish! It sure is turning into it.

Try describing injuries by first saying how she got them.For example the air bag exploded searing her face and blackening both her crystal blue eyes.Her bucket seat slammed forward trapping and breaking both legs like kindling.Most people tell it like her legs were smashed and then how but try saying how before what.Hope that helps a bit.good-luck

If you hit a tree in your car traveling at 60 MPH, you are still moving when the car hits the tree. The automobile begins to stop moving, but because of inertia, you keep on trucking. If you are not wearing a seat belt, you continue to move at 60, even when the vehicle is only moving at 30. This action will almost immediately snap your legs at the knees. Your lower legs (shins) will double back and snap under the pressure of the momentum. The steering wheel has now reached your chest, and begins to crush your rib cage. This affects all of your internal organs in the chest cavity. After the car comes to a complete stop, your head still moves at about 20 MPH, and slams into the windshield. It is messy. Seat belts, do save lives.
