CHP warns drivers of ‘high-velocity projectiles’ in their vehicles in the event of a crash

California Highway Patrol, Special to LassenNews.com

What’s in your car that could become a dangerous flying projectile?

Unsecured heavy objects in a vehicle act as dangerous, high-velocity projectiles during a crash, with a 20-pound item hitting with 1,000 pounds of force at 55 mph. Loose items — such as laptops, luggage, tools, or heavy toys — continue moving at the car’s previous speed, causing severe injury or death upon impact with occupants.
