Road traffic collision (RTC) or car crash occurs when a vehicle collides with another vehicle, pedestrian, animal, road debris, or other stationary obstruction, such as a tree or utility pole. Motor vehicle related events were the most common event leading to spinal cord injury in this sample. In RTCs, occupants made up approximately 60% of all spinal injuries, pedestrians accounted for 17%, and bicycle and motor cycle riders approximately 8% and 15% respectively. Through these statistics this paper has a review on the causes of SCIs specially derived from RTCs and its consequences and prevalence.
