The 600's passenger compartment became structurally unstable during the frontal impact and the driver ran a high risk of life-threatening chest and abdominal injuries in the side impact. The distance by which the steering wheel was displaced backwards into the cabin during the front impact posed further risks of injury, while stiff structures in the lower facia around the knee impact area increased the likelihood of damage to the driver's knees, thighs and pelvis.
