Car accidents happen on a daily basis. However, every modern vehicle is equipped with certain safety elements that will minimize the damage done and prevent the drivers from losing their lives in the crash. But not all car accidents happen between two vehicles. Sometimes, they happen between a vehicle and a bicycle, or a pedestrian. And when that happens, the consequences are catastrophic.
