 The magnitude of the spinal injury problem is unknown. There have been a number of clinical reports that focused on the classification and descriptions of cervical spine fractures and dislocations with some providing hypotheses on the mechanism of injury. In the present article we have discussed a case where the person was driving the four-wheeler and struck by the other vehicle and died on the spot. C1-C2 cervical spine fracture dislocation with ring fracture noted at the base of the skull. The mechanism of injury is due to combined effects of whiplash and indirect blow to the skull.
